For families with a history of sex linked genetic diseases, the conception of an affected child may be devastating. However, many sex linked diseases only affect males, while females are healthy. Left up to chance, families have a 50% chance of conceiving a girl. The Silverman Center for Gender Selection in Westchester, New York gives families the power to choose the sex of their child, thus avoiding the effects of sex linked diseases.
DNA contains genes that determine traits like hair color and height. Some of the genes carried by DNA can cause inherited diseases. In some cases, these diseases can affect males and females differently. DNA is stored in rod like packages called chromosomes. Each embryo contains 23 chromosome pairs. Male and female embryos are differentiated by a specialized pair of chromosomes called the sex chromosomes. While females have an X paired with an X, males have an X paired with a Y. If the gene for a genetic disease is stored on the X chromosome, females are safe because they have an extra copy. However, males only have one X chromosome so they are affected by these sex linked genetic diseases. Through the process of gender selection, Dr. Andrew Silverman ensures that families wishing to avoid sex linked genetic diseases will conceive girls.
Dr. Andrew Silverman has over 18 years of experience in the field of gender selection. He is trained in the Ericsson Method for Gender Selection, In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), and Pre-Implantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD).
