🧬 PGT-A (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy)
“Better Embryo Selection for a Healthier Tomorrow”
What is PGT-A?
PGT-A (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy) is a genetic testing technique performed on embryos created through IVF. It helps assess whether an embryo has the expected number of chromosomes.
PGT-A can provide additional information about the chromosomal status of embryos, helping the fertility team make informed decisions when planning embryo transfer.
🔬 How Does PGT-A Work?
During an IVF cycle, embryos are developed in the laboratory until the appropriate stage. A small number of cells are carefully biopsied from the embryo and sent for genetic testing.
IVF → Embryo Development → Embryo Biopsy → Genetic Testing → Results → Embryo Selection & Transfer Planning
✨ Why is PGT-A Used?
*Helps identify embryos with chromosomal abnormalities (aneuploidy)
*Provides additional information for embryo selection
*May help reduce the chance of transferring an embryo with certain chromosome abnormalities
*May be particularly useful in selected IVF cases based on individual clinical factors
*Supports a more individualized approach to embryo-transfer planning
👨👩👧 Who May Be Considered for PGT-A?
PGT-A may be considered in selected IVF patients, particularly depending on:
*Advanced maternal age
*Previous IVF cycles with repeated implantation failure
*Recurrent pregnancy loss in selected cases
*Previous pregnancy or embryo affected by chromosomal abnormality
*Certain situations where the fertility specialist recommends additional embryo assessment
*PGT-A is not necessary for every IVF cycle. Your fertility specialist will discuss whether it may be appropriate based on your *individual medical and reproductive history.
