Pre-implantation genetic testing

Pre-implantation genetic testing (PGT) is a medical procedure used during in-vitro fertilization (IVF) to analyze a small number of cells from an embryo before it is implanted into the uterus. This testing helps identify genetic abnormalities or specific inherited conditions, allowing prospective parents to select embryos that are healthy and less likely to have genetic disorders. PGT improves the chances of a successful pregnancy and healthy baby, especially for those at risk of genetic issues or with previous fertility challenges. It is a valuable tool for informed reproductive decision-making.
