Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT)
Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) is an advanced genetic screening technique used during IVF to identify embryos with genetic abnormalities before implantation. This allows our specialists to transfer only healthy embryos, significantly improving your chances of a successful pregnancy and a healthy baby.
What is PGT
PGT-A, formerly known as PGS (Preimplantation Genetic Screening), checks embryos for the correct number of chromosomes. Embryos with too few or too many chromosomes (aneuploidy) are less likely to result in a healthy pregnancy.
PGT-A is recommended for
Women over 35 years of age
Recurrent IVF failures or miscarriages
Severe male infertility
Couples wanting to reduce the risk of genetic conditions
What Are The Benefits:
Higher IVF success rate
Reduced risk of miscarriage
Lower chances of genetic disorders
Increases likelihood of a single, healthy birth
What is NICS (Non-Invasive Chromosome Screening)?
NICS is a non-invasive alternative to PGT-A. Instead of biopsying embryo cells, it analyzes cell-free DNA found in the culture medium surrounding the embryo. This method eliminates the need for embryo manipulation while still detecting chromosomal abnormalities.
Advantages of NICS:
No embryo biopsy – safe and gentle
Lower risk of embryo damage
Suitable for patients concerned about invasive procedures
Utilizes next-generation sequencing (NGS) for accuracy
What is NiPGS (Non-Invasive Preimplantation Genetic Screening)?
NiPGS is another term for NICS and refers to the same non-invasive approach to preimplantation testing. This cutting-edge method provides a safer pathway for embryo screening and is rapidly becoming a trusted alternative to traditional PGT-A.
Who Should Consider PGT?
Couples with a history of genetic disorders
Women of advanced maternal age
Patients with repeated IVF failures
Couples with recurrent miscarriages
Individuals seeking single embryo transfer with higher success
