PGT-A | PGT-M | PGT-SR

Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) is a set of advanced genetic screening techniques performed on embryos created via IVF before they are implanted in the uterus. These tests help identify genetic abnormalities to increase the chances of a healthy pregnancy and reduce the risk of inherited disorders.

• PGT-A (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy): Screens embryos for the correct number of chromosomes (ploidy). It helps identify embryos with missing or extra chromosomes, which can cause miscarriages or genetic conditions like Down syndrome.
• PGT-M (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic Disorders): Detects specific inherited single-gene disorders (such as cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, or Tay-Sachs disease) in embryos, allowing couples at risk to avoid passing on genetic diseases.
• PGT-SR (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Structural Rearrangements): Identifies chromosomal structural abnormalities like translocations or inversions in embryos, which can affect embryo viability and pregnancy outcomes.

By using PGT, fertility specialists can select the healthiest embryos for transfer, improving success rates and helping families have healthy babies.
