The Eugonia scientific team, headed by Dr Τrifonas Lainas, in collaboration with the Clinical genetic laboratory University of Athens, led to achieve pregnancy patient who suffered from the neurofibromatosis disease (neurofibromatosis type 1, also known as von Recklinghausen disease).

Neurofibromatosis is a genetic neurological disease caused by mutation, which has a 50% potential to be transferred to children in case that one of the 2 parents is suffering from it, while the disease severity varies from person to person.

The application for in-vitro fertilisation in conjunction with preimplantation genetic diagnosis (SGA), successfully detected the healthy embryos, which were transferred to a woman's uterus , while embryos which suffered the disease were excluded. Pregnancy outcome was successfull, and the woman gave birth to a healthy baby girl.
