Preimplantation diagnostics
PGT Preimplantation Genetic Test
Preimplantation genetic testing can be used to screen embryos for chromosomal abnormalities or inherited diseases before they are transferred. On day five the embryologist removes some cells from the outer layer (trophectoderm) of the blastocysts and they are genetically analyzed. It takes about 3-6 weeks until the result is available. Therefore, the embryos are frozen after cell collection and when the result is available, it is decided which embryos can be transferred.
PGT-A Preimplantation genetic diagnosis for chromosomal aneuploidies
PGT-A can significantly increase the probability of pregnancy in an IVF cycle, as only euploid embryos, i.e. embryos with an inconspicuous karyotype, are transferred. The pregnancy rate is approximately > 75%. Especially in cases of repeated miscarriages, implantation failure and advanced maternal age, couples can benefit from PGT A.
PGT-M Preimplantation diagnostics for monogenetic diseases
In families affected by severe genetic diseases, PGT-M can detect embryos that are not affected by the familial genetic disease. In those cases PGT-M can greatly increase the likelihood of having a healthy child.
