What is Orchid?

Orchid overview

Using whole genome sequencing, Orchid helps families screen for diseases that could affect their chance of having a successful pregnancy and healthy baby.

Orchid's cutting-edge whole genome embryo screening is performed as part of the IVF process. The embryo screening combines Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy (PGT-A), Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic/Single Gene Defects (PGT-M), and screens for hundreds of genes linked to severe monogenic diseases.

Orchid obtains 100x more data, and reads >99%* of an embryo's genome (compared to <1% that our competitors read). This is all done using the same 5-6 cell trophectoderm biopsy that other preimplantation genetic tests use. With this advanced data, Orchid can detect conditions that other tests miss.

* Percentage is based on validation studies using genomic regions of National Institute of Standards and Technology - GIAB samples

Why is Orchid different?

Comparing Orchid to traditional PGT

Orchid offers several advantages over existing PGT methodologies. These include faster turnaround times, the ability to detect conditions that other tests may miss, and a comprehensive single screen that includes PGT-A, PGT-M, and gene panels. Moreover, Orchid provides one-on-one genetic counseling for all patients at no additional charge.

PGT-A

  • 100x more data than traditional PGT-A tests
  • Detect triploidy and molar embryos (complete uniparental isodisomy) that other labs might miss
  • Detect microdeletions + microduplications screened for during pregnancy but missed in traditional PGT
  • Plus all traditional PGT-A features

PGT-M

  • No probe design is necessary, which means faster turnaround time and less coordination
  • Ideal for:
    • Challenging PGT-M cases that may have been denied by other companies
    • Patients with a previous pregnancy/child with a de novo variant
    • Patients using an egg, sperm, or embryo donor
  • Faster results (4-5 weeks vs. 3 months)
  • Patients can screen for hundreds of monogenic diseases simultaneously (through gene panels)

Gene panels

  • Screen for hundreds of genetic neurodevelopmental conditions, genetic causes of birth defects, and genes associated with hereditary cancer.
  • Includes single gene disorders associated with advancing paternal age

Parental confirmation

  • Saliva-based test to confirm parental relationship to embryos
  • Non-blood samples increase convenience and ease for patients

Orchid's comprehensive screening

Orchid's comprehensive screening combines PGT-A, PGT-M, screens for 100s of genes linked to severe disease, and measures genetic predisposition to disease. These are all screened simultaneously from the same embryo biopsy used in traditional testing. Orchid screening is performed on embryos created as part of the IVF process.

How much does Orchid cost?

Resources for financial investment

As the world's first comprehensive whole genome embryo screening solution, Orchid represents a significant advancement in genetic testing for family planning. Our premium service reads >99% of an embryo's genome, providing unparalleled insight into your future child's health compared to traditional genetic testing methods that only look at <1%.

While our cutting-edge technology and thorough analysis reflect our premium pricing, we understand that building a family is a significant investment. That's why we've partnered with CapexMD to make Orchid more accessible to growing families.

CapexMD specializes in patient financing services for all fertility treatment options. They offer a streamlined financing experience with:

  • Easy & secure online application process
  • Personal attention and concierge-level service to reduce stress
  • Flexible payment terms with no membership fees
  • No annual fees
  • No prepayment penalties

Frequently Asked Questions

While there can be hundreds of genetic variations within an embryo, Orchid only reports on genes known to cause monogenic disease based on decades of research. Genes included on our panels are selected based on extensive literature searches and information from the Clinical Domain Working Group, a group of independent academic geneticists. Only pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants based on the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) guidelines are included. Carrier status is not reported unless requested.

Any patient could benefit from Orchid, but here are a few examples of patients that would be most interested:

  • Patients looking to use the most advanced genetic testing option available, or are otherwise concerned about neurodevelopmental disorders, pediatric cancers, and/or birth defects
  • Patients who might traditionally do PGT-M (Orchid does not usually require probe development, which increases speed to results)
  • Patients concerned about de novo variants (i.e., advanced paternal age, a previous child with a de novo variant)
  • Patients using donor egg/sperm/embryos, with potentially limited contact with donor for testing

Have healthy babies.
