🧬 PGT-M – Advanced Genetic Testing for Embryos
“A Healthier Tomorrow Begins with Informed Genetic Choices.”
What Is PGT-M?
Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic Disorders (PGT-M) is a specialised genetic test performed during IVF to identify specific inherited genetic conditions in embryos before embryo transfer.
It may help couples with a known risk of passing on a single-gene disorder make informed decisions about their reproductive options.
🔬 How Does PGT-M Work?
Genetic Assessment → IVF Treatment → Embryo Development → Embryo Biopsy → Genetic Testing → Embryo Transfer Planning
A small sample of cells is collected from an embryo and tested for a specific genetic condition. The results help the fertility team discuss suitable embryo-transfer options with the couple.
✨ Why Is PGT-M Considered?
*Helps identify embryos affected by the specific genetic condition being tested.
*Supports informed embryo-selection decisions.
*May reduce the risk of passing on certain inherited genetic disorders.
*Helps couples with known genetic risks explore reproductive options.
*Supports personalised fertility planning with genetic counselling.
👨👩👧 Who May Benefit from PGT-M?
PGT-M may be considered for couples with a known risk of passing on certain inherited conditions, such as:
*Thalassemia
*Sickle cell disease
*Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA)
*Cystic fibrosis
*Certain other single-gene disorders
*Suitability depends on the specific genetic variant, inheritance *pattern and whether testing can be developed for the family.

Genetic counselling and specialist laboratory input are important parts of the PGT-M process.
PGT-M cannot guarantee pregnancy or a healthy baby. Confirmatory prenatal testing may still be recommended after conception.
