PGT-SR
PGT (Preimplantation Genetic Testing)
Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) is a state-of-the-art technique used during in vitro fertilization (IVF) to screen embryos for genetic abnormalities before implantation. This advanced testing helps identify embryos with the highest potential for a successful pregnancy and healthy baby, giving you the best start on your journey to parenthood.
PGT-SR (Preimplantation Genetic Testing For Structural Rearrangements)
Identifies structural chromosomal abnormalities, such as translocations or inversions, that can impact fertility or lead to genetic disorders.
This Procedure Is Offered To
- couples undergoing IVF who are at increased risk for aneuploidy
- Maternal age >35 years
- History of previous pregnancy with trisomy
- Patients with recurrent pregnancy loss.
- PGT helps to achieve pregnancy in a short period of time by transferring genetically normal embryos
- Prior failed IVF cycles
- For patients who have experienced more than three failed embryo transfers with high-quality, morphologically normal embryos, PGT may be considered.
- Requesting PGD for HLA typing
- To select embryos that are compatible with living siblings, PGD can be used to match histocompatibility for potential stem cell donation or other medical purposes.
