BASIC TESTS
PERSONAL AND FAMILY MEDICAL HISTORY (anamnesis)
MEDICAL EXAMINATION
GYNAECOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT
- Cytology
- Ultrasound
- Breast examination
PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT
- Consists of a psychological test and a consultation with our team of psychologists, which help rule out conditions that may affect the donor's mental health.
GENETIC CARRIER SCREENING
(recessive monogenic disorders)
All our donors have undergone screening for recessive monogenic disorders. Only oocytes with a compatible genetic match for the assigned patient and/or without recessive mutations recommended for screening by the SEF are sent.
Egg bank donors are never carriers of fragile X syndrome or of the X-linked conditions assessed by the carrier screening test.
SERUM SAMPLE STORAGE
We are committed and responsible for retaining a blood sample from every donor until 2 years have elapsed since the last embryo transfer performed using her oocytes.
Any changes to the legal regulations governing the basic tests required for donor screening will be immediately incorporated into the tests performed at our egg bank.
LABORATORY TESTS
COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT:
- Platelets
- Blood group
- Rh factor (D)
- ESR
COAGULATION:
- Prothrombin time
BIOCHEMISTRY:
- Glucose
- G6PDH
- Cholesterol
- Triglycerides
- GPT
- Urea
SEROLOGY:
- HIV (anti-HIV-1, HIV-2, p24)
- HBV (anti-HBsAg, HBcAg)
- HCV
- Syphilis (RPR and TPHA)
- Rubella
- Toxoplasmosis
(*) When indicated, testing also includes: Chagas disease, Zika and CMV (IgG, IgM and avidity).
PCR (TMA):
- Qualitative detection of HCV, HBV, HIV-1 and HIV-2
GENETICS:
- Peripheral blood karyotype
GENETIC MATCHING
Allows the genetic information of the oocyte donor to be compared with the genetic data of the recipient's male partner.
This genetic compatibility screening compares more than 300 genetic disorders with the aim of preventing the transmission of these recessive monogenic disorders to offspring.
All our donors are screened using the qCarrier® Test (qGenomics). However, if requested by the collaborating clinic, the donor can also undergo the genetic test required for the specific case.
