PGD/PGS/PGT-A: Preimplantation Genetic Testing
What is PGD/PGS/PGT-A?
Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) refers to advanced procedures that analyze the genetic makeup of embryos before implantation during IVF. These techniques help ensure the transfer of healthy embryos and improve the chances of successful pregnancy.
- PGD (Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis): Detects specific genetic disorders in embryos for couples at risk of passing on hereditary conditions.
- PGS (Preimplantation Genetic Screening): Now known as PGT-A (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidies), it screens embryos for chromosomal abnormalities that may cause miscarriage or implantation failure.
Who benefits from PGT-A?
- Couples with recurrent pregnancy loss
- Women of advanced maternal age
- Couples with a history of failed IVF cycles
- Known genetic conditions in the family
Why choose PGT-A?
By selecting genetically healthy embryos, the chances of successful implantation and a healthy pregnancy increase while reducing miscarriage risk. PGT is a precise method that provides a strong step toward a stress-free IVF journey.
