PGT-SR: Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Chromosomal Structural Rearrangements Who is PGT-SR for? Preimplantation genetic testing for chromosomal structural rearrangements (PGT-SR), is performed at the blastocyst stage embryos to ensure no structural misalignment of chromosomes which can lead to an unsuccessful pregnancy. PGT-SR is for people who have a chromosome rearrangement themselves. The PGT-SR Process? Preimplantation genetic testing for chromosomal structural…

PGT-M: Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Single-gene Defects The PGT-M Technology: Karyomapping Preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic/single gene defects (PGT-M), is performed at the blastocyst stage embryos to ensure that the subsequent offspring will not be born with a specific genetic disease. Patients who have a genetic disorder or are suspected of one, or possibly who have a closely-associated family member…

PGT-A: Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy Preimplantation genetic screening was earlier known as preimplantation genetic screening and offers insight into the number of chromosomes within IVF embryos. Normal chromosome results will have higher chances of achieving a normal and successful pregnancy. Potential PGT-A Results The results of PGT can be one of the three – normal, mixed, and aneuploid. In…

The Basics of Preimplantation Genetic Testing Preimplantation Genetic Testing is an embryonic procedure undertaken alongside IVF to ensure that genetic disorders can be identified and possibly, rectified. For this procedure, a tissue biopsy of a developing embryo is taken and tested for genetic abnormalities. This takes places at the blastocysts stage of the embryos. Once the tissue sample is collected…
