Genetic Screening
Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) is an advanced screening technique used during IVF to analyze embryos for genetic abnormalities before transfer. This ensures only the healthiest embryos are selected, dramatically improving IVF success rates.
PGT-A screens for chromosomal abnormalities (aneuploidy), PGT-M tests for specific genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis or sickle cell disease, and PGT-SR detects structural rearrangements. These tests significantly reduce miscarriage risk.
