Preimplantation Genetic Testing

Explore the benefits and limitations of preimplantation genetic testing PGT as a screening tool for aneuploidy PGT-A or monogenic disorders PGT-M. These tests evaluate embryos before they are implanted, offering insights into their chromosomal health to potentially enhance reproductive outcomes.

PGT-A evaluates the embryo's chromosomes, focusing on ensuring the correct number of chromosomes is present and identifying any abnormalities that may lead to miscarriage or developmental issues. The age of egg donors plays a critical role in assessing risks associated with chromosome abnormalities.

PGT-M allows couples at risk for specific genetic conditions due to family history or carrier status to reduce the likelihood of passing these conditions to their offspring through IVF cycles.

Embryology experts at our laboratory have extensive experience with embryo micromanipulation and biopsy techniques necessary for PGT procedures. We utilize this knowledge to optimize outcomes and provide accurate results for informed decision-making.
