Microsort?
Dr Potter,
Can you tell me which genetic diseases qualify for using Microsort?
Can someone use Microsort if they want to screen for BRCA gene?

That is a great question. Because men with BRCA also have an increased risk for breast cancer, I do not believe so. A better approach would be IVF-PGD with GSN 24 and single gene screening. This would allow you to select embryos that were unaffected.

Thank you Dr Potter.
Do you have the same success results with IVF-PGD GSN 24 as with MS/IVF/PGD? I'm doing this mainly for gender selection.

Since Microsort would be of benefit for low responders, should I look into doing an MS IVF cycle in Mexico where Microsort is still accepting patients? I would hate to spend so much money on an IVF/PGD cycle in the United States and end up with no transfer (or is that pretty rare?)
Which would you advise? I'm so torn.

I think you have to be comfortable with having a procedure done in another country other than your native one. Would you travel anywhere to have any procedure done especially a third world country? I think there is some affiliation with GIVF as far as the MicroSort part but I am really not clear on any of those details as to how Mexico even ended up with a MS machine...perhaps Dr Potter knows and knows what if any the affiliation is with a US clinic and what that means exactly- are the overseen by anybody...certainly wouldn't be by the FDA since it is in Mexico.
Can you even find information on other patients that have gone to Mexico and actually used MS? If so, I would love to be able to ask them questions. Let me know please.Mom to

Gender Selection is the only reason I'm looking into Microsort. Since family balancing applications are closed, and since Microsort is being so vague on if we can use it for genetic reasons, it seems like the only way I could do Microsort is in Mexico.
I admit I am nervous going to Mexico just for Microsort but I also don't want to end up with a no transfer.
I hope Dr Potter can answer this question about Microsort in Mexico because it seems like it would be my only option. Does Dr Potter know about the Mexican Microsort clinic? Do they offer the same service?
