PGT-A

Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy (PGT-A) is primarily conducted by fertility clinics and laboratories specializing in assisted reproductive technology.

Our Purpose

Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A), formerly known as preimplantation genetic screening (PGS), is a procedure used during in vitro fertilization (IVF) to screen embryos for chromosomal abnormalities before they are transferred to the uterus.

Aneuploidy refers to an abnormal number of chromosomes, which can lead to genetic disorders or unsuccessful implantation. PGT-A helps identify embryos with the correct number of chromosomes, increasing the chances of a successful pregnancy and reducing the likelihood of miscarriage.

Laboratories Specializing in Assisted Reproductive

Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy (PGT-A) is primarily conducted by fertility clinics and laboratories specializing in assisted reproductive technology.

Fertility Clinics

These medical facilities provide comprehensive reproductive services, including IVF procedures and genetic testing like PGT-A.

Genetic Laboratories

Specialized laboratories equipped with advanced technologies conduct the genetic analysis necessary for PGT-A.

Reproductive Endocrinologists

These medical professionals specialize in fertility treatments and oversee the entire PGT-A process.

Researchers

The Scientists continuously work on improving PGT-A techniques and developing new approaches to enhance its accuracy and effectiveness.

Regulatory Bodies

Government agencies and professional organizations establish guidelines and regulations to ensure the ethical and safe practice of PGT-A.

Pharmaceutical Companies

Some companies develop and manufacture the medications used in IVF cycles, which may be part of the PGT-A process.

Patient Advocacy Groups

Organizations representing individuals and couples facing fertility challenges may advocate for access to PGT-A and support services.

Support Staff

Nurses, administrative personnel, and other support staff contribute to the smooth operation of fertility clinics and laboratories offering PGT-A services.

PGT-A Aims To Improve IVF

Embryos are cultured in a laboratory until they reach the blastocyst stage, typically around day five or six after fertilization. At this stage, a few cells are removed from each embryo through a biopsy procedure, usually without harming embryo viability".

The purpose of PGT-A is to screen embryos for chromosomal abnormalities, specifically aneuploidy, which involves an abnormal number of chromosomes.

PGT-A involves removing a few cells from an embryo created through in vitro fertilization (IVF) and analyzing them to determine if there are any chromosomal abnormalities.

Individuals with advanced maternal age, a history of recurrent pregnancy loss, or known chromosomal abnormalities may benefit from PGT-A to improve the chances of a successful pregnancy.

PGT-A can detect various chromosomal abnormalities, including Down syndrome (trisomy 21), Turner syndrome (monosomy X), and other disorders resulting from abnormal chromosome numbers.
