Preimplantation Genetic Testing

PGT-A

Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy

Overview

PGT-A (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy) is an advanced genetic test performed on embryos created through IVF. By screening embryos for chromosomal abnormalities before implantation, PGT-A significantly improves IVF success rates and reduces the risk of miscarriage.

Benefits of PGT-A

Higher IVF Success

Select chromosomally normal embryos for transfer, significantly improving implantation rates

Reduced Miscarriage

Eliminate embryos with chromosomal abnormalities that commonly cause early pregnancy loss

Shorter Time to Pregnancy

Fewer IVF cycles needed by transferring only viable embryos

Informed Decisions

Empower patients with comprehensive genetic information about their embryos

How It Works

IVF Cycle

Eggs are retrieved and fertilized to create embryos

Embryo Biopsy

A few cells are carefully removed from each embryo at the blastocyst stage

Genetic Analysis

Cells are analyzed using next-generation sequencing technology

Embryo Transfer

Only chromosomally normal embryos are selected for transfer

Frequently Asked Questions

Who should consider PGT-A?

PGT-A is recommended for women over 35, those with recurrent miscarriages, previous IVF failures, or a family history of chromosomal abnormalities.

Does the biopsy harm the embryo?

Studies show that embryo biopsy at the blastocyst stage does not affect the embryo's developmental potential.

How long does it take to get results?

PGT-A results are typically available within 7–10 business days after the biopsy.

Is PGT-A covered by insurance?

Coverage varies by insurance plan. Our team can help you check your benefits and explore payment options.

Can PGT-A detect all genetic conditions?

PGT-A screens for chromosomal aneuploidy. For specific gene mutations, PGT-M would be recommended.
