            [title] => Some Issues to Discuss in Genetic Counseling for PGT-M Testing
            [description] => Preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic/single gene - PGT-M is a groundbreaking advancement that brings hope to having healthy children to families affected by single-gene hereditary conditions. However, genetic counseling for PGT-M testing remains challenging, primarily due to issues in pre-cycle counseling and the expertise and experience of genetic counselors. This was shared by MSc. Nguyen Thi Huyen, M.D (Specialist in Genetic Counseling at GENTIS Genetic Counseling Center) during the ART ADVANCED 11 Seminar with the theme "Controversial Issues in Assisted Reproductive Technology."

            [content] => 
he Importance of Genetic Counseling in PGT-M Testing for Assisted Reproductive Technology
PGT-M testing allows couples to select genetically healthy embryos for transfer into the mother's uterus, aiming to prevent the risk of passing on hereditary diseases or disease-causing genes to the next generation. This, in turn, helps manage and alleviate the health, financial, and emotional burdens faced by families affected by genetic disorders. The test is indicated for specific single-gene disorders with clearly identified genetic causes.
MSc. Nguyen Thi Huyen, M.D presented a report on Some Issues to Discuss in Genetic Counseling for PGT-M Testing
Before initiating a PGT-M cycle, doctors identify the genetic cause of the disorder, assess the inheritance pattern, and evaluate the genetic risks. They also explain to patients the potential for false negatives and false positives in the test, as well as the benefits, risks, and possible outcomes of agreeing to undergo PGT-M.
To perform PGT-M, couples must undergo in vitro fertilization (IVF) to create embryos. Once the embryos reach the blastocyst stage, a biopsy is conducted (where 3-5 cells are taken from the part of the embryo that will later develop into the placenta). These biopsied cells are then subjected to specialized testing methods to detect disease-causing genetic mutations. If the mother becomes pregnant following a PGT-M cycle, genetic counselors and clinicians will develop a close follow-up plan for her during the pregnancy.
Challenges and Difficulties in Genetic Counseling for PGT-M Testing
In PGT-M testing, genetic counseling is an important process before, during, and after obtaining the results. MSc. Nguyen Thi Huyen, M.D, explained that genetic counseling in PGT-M faces numerous challenges and difficulties. The most common challenge is ensuring that patients understand their condition well enough to make informed and wise decisions. Additionally, the knowledge and experience of the counselor are vital, as they directly impact the amount and quality of information provided to the patient.
Another significant challenge is identifying the genetic mutations responsible for the disorder or understanding the inheritance patterns, as well as the tools needed to detect these mutations. Other factors affecting PGT-M results include how the embryo biopsy is conducted, the technology used, and whether the results meet the initial expectations. All of these factors will depend on thorough, informative and, importantly, individualized genetic counseling that the patient can understand. Therefore, it is essential to have coordinated counseling from clinical experts, embryology labs, and  geneticists before, during, and after the testing, so that patients are fully informed of the benefits and limitations of PGT-M, as well as the challenges in embryo screening, embryo transfer, and prenatal diagnosis.
Moreover, counseling on pregnancy follow-up after embryo transfer is also a challenge for clinical doctors. Coordination with obstetricians is needed to manage the pregnancy effectively, and with pediatricians and geneticists after childbirth.
These insights were presented by MSc. Nguyen Thi Huyen, M.D, Genetic Counselor at GENTIS Genetic Counseling Center, during the ART ADVANCED 11 Seminar titled "Controversial Issues in Assisted Reproductive Technology" held on June 29 in Hanoi. The seminar was honored by the participation of leading experts in Andrology, Assisted Reproductive Technology, Obstetrics, along with many doctors from various centers and hospitals who shared knowledge and discussed the latest scientific and technological advancements to improve the effectiveness of infertility treatments.
Dr. Dang Vinh Dung (108 Military Central Hospital) Presents on “Evaluating the Effectiveness of PRP in Treating Patients with Ovarian Failure”

            [title] => Genetics is one of the factors directly affecting male infertility
            [description] => Male infertility is becoming increasingly common, causing men to feel insecure and affecting family happiness. According to Dr. Mai Ba Tien Dung, PhD.MD. (Head of Andrology Department - Binh Dan Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City), “There are many causes of male infertility. Besides mumps, cancer, injuries from conditions such as varicocele, infections, pelvic surgery, etc., genetics is one of the important factors directly affecting male infertility.”
            [content] => 
Current status of male infertility in Vietnam
So far, the stereotype has been that infertility is mainly due to women. However, according to the latest research by the World Health Organization (WHO), infertility causes come from both men and women.
The Andrology session at the 21st Annual Urology and Nephrology Scientific Conference (HUNA) 2024 attracted the attention of many delegates.
In infertility cases, female factors account for 40%, male factors for 30%, both partners for 20%, and 10% remain unexplained. This data shows that the incidence of male and female infertility is similar. This is why, in recent years, male infertility has been a focus of scientific research and patient care in Vietnam.
In fact, the frequency of male infertility in the community is 15%. This is an alarming number, requiring attention and appropriate programs for screening and treating male infertility.
How do genetic factors affect male infertility?
There are many causes of male infertility. Commonly mentioned ones include mumps, cancer, injuries from conditions such as varicocele, infections, and pelvic surgery. Besides, genetics is also one of the factors.
According to Dr. Mai Ba Tien Dung, PhD.MD. (Head of Andrology Department - Binh Dan Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City), genetics is one of the factors directly affecting male infertility. When genetic factors of infertile patients are surveyed, clinicians can provide suitable treatment methods for each specific individual, thereby personalizing and saving treatment costs for patients.
Dr. Dung also stated that genetic issues have started to develop in Vietnam in recent years. However, the number of facilities capable of performing genetic tests for men is still limited in Vietnam. The development, expansion, and popularization of genetic tests are the shared desire of clinicians to support the examination, diagnosis, and treatment of male infertility.

Fertiscan test mentioned by Dr. Mai Ba Tien Dung, PhD.MD. in the scientific report at HUNA 2024
In his scientific report at the 21st Annual Urology and Nephrology Scientific Conference (HUNA) 2024, held on June 27-29 in Rach Gia City, Kien Giang Province, Dr. Mai Ba Tien Dung, PhD.MD. discussed Fertiscan testing. Dr. Dung used Fertiscan testing to identify key genetic factors related to sperm synthesis in patients, thereby shortening the diagnostic process and reducing treatment costs.
HUNA is an annual scientific conference aimed at connecting Vietnamese and international doctors, nurses, and medical experts. This year’s conference had over 1,000 participants, including leading specialists, doctors, and nurses in urology, nephrology, andrology, kidney transplantation, and dialysis from hospitals both within the country and abroad.
Experts Attending the 21st Annual Urology and Nephrology Scientific Conference (HUNA) 2024
At HUNA 2024, GENTIS had the opportunity to learn, exchange experiences, and update new trends and medical advances in diagnosing and treating andrological diseases. With a team of experts having many years of experience in genetic research, along with well-planned investments in new, highly accurate technologies, GENTIS hopes that genetic tests will assist clinicians in screening, diagnosing, identifying the causes of infertility, and finding appropriate treatment methods

            [title] => GENTIS Participates in the 11th Conference on Infertility and Assisted Reproductive Techniques
            [description] => On June 9, GENTIS attended the 11th Conference on Infertility and Assisted Reproductive Techniques, organized by the Ho Chi Minh City Society for Reproductive Medicine. With the theme "Advancing to Global Standards through Evidence-Based Medicine," this conference provided GENTIS with a valuable opportunity to exchange knowledge, update on new trends, and explore medical advancements and the application of modern technology in the field of assisted reproduction.

            [content] => 
The conference saw the participation of over 500 leading doctors and experts from hospitals, assisted reproduction centers, and testing centers across the country. Representing GENTIS at the event was Mr. Do Manh Ha (CEO) along with a team of product research and development specialists.
The 11th Conference on Infertility and Assisted Reproductive Techniques featured four sessions, including 18 specialized presentations, research reports, and discussions led by top doctors and experts in the fields of reproduction and assisted reproduction in Vietnam. The discussions were lively, with many questions raised and directly addressed.
Dr. Nguyen Van Thong, Specialist level II  from Hung Vuong Hospital, with the presentation “Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Microdeletions: Where Do We Stand?”
One notable presentation was by Dr. Nguyen Van Thong from Hung Vuong Hospital, titled “Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Microdeletions: Where Do We Stand?” This presentation received high praise from leading professors and experts in the field. Dr. Thong emphasized the importance of screening and diagnosing microdeletions in embryos, as these abnormalities can cause severe complications, often affecting the intellectual and motor development of children after birth. Moreover, these abnormalities cannot be detected through standard tests like karyotyping, and their occurrence does not vary with maternal age.
Therefore, preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) is considered the optimal solution for selecting genetically healthy embryos, increasing the chances of successful pregnancy through in vitro fertilization (IVF), and ensuring that children are born free from screened genetic syndromes.
Dr. Thong shared that he has utilized the PGT-Max 1 test in real clinical cases at Hung Vuong Hospital.
Dr. Thong further explained, “Preimplantation genetic testing abnormalities are classified into three groups: PGT-A, PGT-M, and PGT-SR. PGT-A is used to diagnose chromosomal aneuploidies, PGT-M is for diagnosing single-gene disorders, and PGT-SR is for detecting structural abnormalities larger than 5Mb. Currently, structural abnormalities smaller than 2-5Mb remain a gray area that we have yet to fully explore.” This highlights the need for solutions to address these uncharted areas.
In response to this need, GENTIS has developed the PGT-Max 1 test, which detects aneuploidies across all 24 chromosomes, structural chromosomal abnormalities (such as duplications and deletions) greater than 5Mb, and certain common microdeletions larger than 2Mb, including the 22q11.2 deletion (related to DiGeorge syndrome), 1p36 deletion (related to 1p36 deletion syndrome), and other common microdeletions. This application offers the highest resolution currently available in Vietnam.
To achieve this breakthrough, the GENTIS research team developed the test using high-resolution Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, surpassing the resolution of standard PGT tests, and applied specialized bioinformatics software capable of detecting microdeletions as small as 2Mb—something not possible with other common PGT tests on the market.
GENTIS’s Involvement in the 11th Conference on Infertility and Assisted Reproductive Techniques
GENTIS is a pioneer in PGT testing in Vietnam, with over 10 years of experience in the field. The company follows a standardized testing process and operates a laboratory system that meets the necessary standards for PGT. GENTIS was the first unit in Vietnam to receive ISO 15189:2012 certification for PGT testing.
Additionally, GENTIS has a team of experienced research and development specialists who continuously update the latest features of PGT tests. This is essential for the future, as it will allow for the development of higher-resolution PGT tests capable of detecting more abnormalities. The ultimate goal is that every embryo transferred is the best possible one, increasing pregnancy success rates and ensuring the birth of healthy babies.
