Chromosomal and genetic clarity before embryo transfer.
Targeted chromosomal and genetic screening of embryos prior to uterine transfer when clinically indicated.
What is it?
Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) involves testing cells from an embryo, created via IVF/ICSI, for specific genetic or chromosomal information before it is transferred.
Who may benefit?
- •Couples with a known inherited genetic condition
- •Patients with a history of recurrent pregnancy loss
- •Cases of advanced maternal age, where chromosomal factors are more common
- •Patients with previous unsuccessful IVF cycles, where indicated
When is it considered?
PGT is considered case by case, in discussion with your fertility specialist and, where relevant, a genetic counsellor.
How It Works
The treatment journey.
Embryo Biopsy
A small number of cells are carefully removed from a developing embryo.
Genetic Analysis
The biopsied cells are sent for laboratory genetic testing.
Embryo Freezing
Biopsied embryos are frozen while results are awaited.
Informed Transfer
Results help guide which embryo to transfer in a subsequent FET.
Preparation
PGT is planned as an extension of an IVF/ICSI cycle and discussed in advance so you understand each step.
During Treatment
The biopsy is performed in the laboratory and does not add an extra procedure for the patient.
Afterwards
You'll wait for genetic results before proceeding to a Frozen Embryo Transfer.
Possible risks & limitations
PGT provides additional information but cannot guarantee implantation or a successful pregnancy, and it cannot identify every possible genetic condition. Limitations should be discussed clearly with your doctor or a genetic counsellor before proceeding.
Frequently Asked Questions
No test can guarantee a healthy pregnancy. PGT provides specific genetic information that can help guide decisions, within its known limitations.
