Preimplantation Genetic Testing

Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidies (PGT - A) formerly known as preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) is a screening test used to check if genetic or chromosomal abnormalities are present in embryos created through IVF or ICSI before embryo is transferred.

Chromosomal aneuploidies are one of the major causes of infertility and maternal age-related lower pregnancy rate. PGT - A helps to shorten the time to a pregnancy by reducing the need of multiple IVF cycles. Transfer of euploid embryo results in higher pregnancy rates and live birth rates reducing miscarriage risk.
