What PGT Is
01
Create Embryos
Embryos are created through the IVF process in our laboratory.
02
Biopsy Cells
A small number of cells are carefully biopsied from selected embryos that are then frozen.
03
Laboratory Analysis
Samples are sent to an external genetics laboratory for comprehensive analysis.
PGT does not treat infertility—it provides information that may help guide decisions.
What PGT Can Assess
Chromosomal Number & Gender
Aneuploidy screening identifies embryos with abnormal chromosome counts, which can affect implantation and pregnancy outcomes. Resutls will include the gender of each embryo (if you wish to know).
Inherited Conditions
Testing for known genetic conditions when applicable, helping identify embryos unaffected by specific hereditary disorders.
When PGT may be considered
-
Prior IVF Results: Previous cycles with abnormal embryos may benefit from screening.
-
Recurrent Pregnancy Loss: History of recurrent miscarriages warrants consideration.
-
Genetic Conditions: Known genetic conditions in one or both partners.
-
Single Transfer: Prioritizing single-embryo transfer for optimal outcomes.
-
Informed Choice & Gender Selection: Patients wanting additional information before transfer, including choosing the gender of their baby.
