Pre-implantation genetic testing (PGT)

Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) is an early form of genetic testing allowing transfer of genetically normal embryos and has become an integral part of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) procedures. Identifying embryos with extra or missing chromosomes is important when selecting embryos for implantation for the couples who opt for in vitro fertilization (IVF). PGT helps screening embryos with aneuploidies (PGT-A), structural rearrangements  (PGT-SR) and single gene disorders (PGT-M) before implantation. The test helps identify genetic abnormalities that may lead to a genetic disorder during pregnancy or after the child’s birth.
