Reproductive Health, Embryology and Fertility

Preimplantation Genetic Testing

Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis is a groundbreaking procedure in reproductive medicine that allows for the screening of embryos for genetic abnormalities before they are implanted during in vitro fertilization (IVF). This testing helps identify embryos free from genetic disorders, chromosomal abnormalities, or inherited conditions, thereby increasing the chances of a successful pregnancy and reducing the risk of passing on genetic diseases to offspring. PGT involves the biopsy of a few cells from embryos at the blastocyst stage, followed by genetic analysis to determine their genetic health.
