Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT-A, PGT-M)

At Isha IVF, we offer advanced Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) to improve the chances of a healthy pregnancy and reduce the risk of genetic disorders. PGT is an advanced reproductive technology performed during IVF to analyze embryos before they are transferred into the uterus.

What is Preimplantation Genetic Testing?

Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) involves screening embryos created through IVF to detect chromosomal abnormalities or genetic mutations. Only healthy embryos are selected for transfer, ensuring higher success rates and reducing the chances of miscarriage or inherited conditions.

There are two main types of PGT:

• PGT-A (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy): Screens embryos for chromosomal abnormalities such as Down syndrome, Turner syndrome, or Edwards syndrome. This helps improve implantation rates and reduces the risk of miscarriage.

• PGT-M (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic/Single-Gene Disorders): Detects specific inherited genetic disorders such as cystic fibrosis, thalassemia, muscular dystrophy, or sickle cell anemia. It is particularly beneficial for couples with a known family history of genetic diseases.

The Procedure and Process

During IVF, embryos are cultured in the lab until they reach the blastocyst stage. A few cells are then carefully removed from each embryo for genetic testing. This biopsy does not harm the embryo. Once the test results are available, only genetically healthy embryos are selected for transfer, significantly improving success rates.
