Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidies (PGT-A)
PGT-A, or Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidies, is a genetic test that screens IVF-fertilized embryos for aneuploidies, a genetic defect caused by an abnormal chromosomal count. By combining IVF with PGT-A, it is possible to minimize the risks of transferring unhealthy embryos. This allows for a more precise selection of embryos for transfer and significantly increases the chance of achieving a normal live birth.
When should PGT-A be considered?
- Advanced maternal age
- Recurrent miscarriage
- Repeated implantation failure
- Previous repeated abnormal pregnancies
- Severe male factor infertility
- Couples who are carriers of a chromosomal disorder
