Preimplantation Genetic Analysis

GeneTech’s pre implantation genetic analysis gives information about embryos’ genetic health to help infertility specialists select the best embryo for transfer and improve chances of achieving a successful pregnancy. It is planned usually for couples with recurrent pregnancy losses, recurrent IVF failures and with family history of any inherited monogenic disorder.

Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy or PGT-A (formerly PGS)

  • Routinely used for all IVF conceptions
  • 3rd or 5th day embryo biopsy
  • Identifies aneuploidies in embryo(s)
  • NGS based Whole genome amplification and sequencing
  • Increases success rate of IVF
  • Higher chance of pregnancy
  • Reduced risk of miscarriage
  • Reduced number of IVF cycles
  • Saves time and cost

Preimplantation genetic testing for Mongenic disorders or PGT-M (formerly PGD)

  • Used in cases where the parents are identified carriers for a single-gene (or monogenic) disorder like Thalassemia, DMD, Fragile-X
  • Also used in HLA matching
  • 3rd day or 5th day embryo biopsy is used to determine existence of single-gene mutation in homozygous or heterozygous condition
  • NGS, Sanger and PCR based
  • Our PGT-M portfolio is constantly upgraded with new genetic disorders. Call for details.
