Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) is an advanced procedure performed during IVF to screen embryos for genetic or chromosomal abnormalities before implantation. This allows embryologists to select the healthiest embryos, increasing the chances of a successful pregnancy and reducing the risk of inherited genetic disorders.

Understanding PGT  

PGT is particularly beneficial for couples with a history of genetic disorders, recurrent miscarriages, previous IVF failures, or those with advanced maternal age. By identifying embryos with a normal genetic profile, PGT provides reassurance and a better likelihood of a healthy pregnancy.

Who Can Benefit from PGT  

During PGT, a few cells are carefully removed from each embryo without affecting its development. These cells are then analyzed using advanced molecular techniques to detect any genetic abnormalities. Only embryos with normal genetic profiles are selected for transfer into the uterus. The entire process is conducted under strict laboratory protocols by highly skilled embryologists and genetic specialists.

The PGT Process  

PGT helps in detecting inherited genetic disorders before pregnancy, improving IVF success rates and reducing the chances of miscarriage due to chromosomal issues. It offers couples a more informed and controlled approach to family planning, ensuring the highest chance for a healthy pregnancy.
