PGT-M
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-M (Preimplantation Genetic Testing For Monogenic/Single-Gene Disorders)
Tests to diagnose embryo with specific genetic disease (Autosomal disorders, X or Y linked disorders). Few conditions can be diagnosed by embryo biopsies like
- Cystic fibrosis
- Tay sachs disease
- Sickle cell anaemia
- Thalassemia
- BRCA mutation
- Haemophilia
- Or any other genetic disorder that may run in family
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.
