🔬 What is preimplantation genetic testing?
-
PGT is a procedure in which a few cells are carefully removed from a developing embryo (usually on Day 3 or Day 5 – blastocyst stage) during an IVF cycle. These cells are then tested in a genetic laboratory to check for chromosomal abnormalities or genetic disorders.
Only genetically normal embryos are selected for transfer, which helps in improving pregnancy outcomes and reducing complications.
🎯 Why is PGT Done?
PGT helps to:
- Identify chromosomal abnormalities
- Detect inherited genetic disorders
- Improve IVF success rates
- Reduce chances of miscarriage
- Increase chances of a healthy baby
🧬 Types of Genetic Testing in PGT
1. PGT-A (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy)
- Detects abnormal number of chromosomes
- Helps in selecting chromosomally normal embryos
- Commonly recommended for older women
2. PGT-A / PGT-M (Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis)
- Detects specific inherited genetic disorders
- Used when parents are carriers of genetic diseases
3. PGT-SR
- Used for structural chromosomal rearrangements
- Recommended for patients with known chromosomal issues
👩⚕️ Who Should Consider PGT?
Embryo biopsy is recommended for:
- Couples with recurrent miscarriages
- Repeated IVF implantation failures
- Advanced maternal age (35+)
- History of chromosomally abnormal pregnancy or child
- Known genetic or inherited disorders
- Single gene disorders
- Unexplained infertility
How Does the PGT Process Work?
Step 1: IVF Cycle
Egg retrieval and fertilization in the lab
Step 2: Embryo Development
Embryos are grown until Day 3 or Day 5 (blastocyst stage)
Step 3: Embryo Biopsy Procedure
A few cells are carefully removed from the embryo and sent to the genetic laboratory for gentic testing
Step 4: Genetic Testing
Cells are analyzed in a specialized genetic lab
Step 5: Embryo Selection
Only healthy embryos are selected
Step 6: Embryo Transfer
Selected embryo is transferred into the uterus
⏳ When is Embryo Biopsy Performed?
- Typically done during an IVF cycle
- Performed on Day 3 or Day 5 embryos
- Most commonly done at the blastocyst stage (Day 5) for higher accuracy
⚠️ Is Embryo Biopsy Safe?
Yes, embryo biopsy is considered safe when performed by experienced specialists. Modern techniques ensure minimal impact on embryo development and high accuracy in genetic testing.
