preimplantation genetic testing

Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) is a procedure used during in-vitro fertilization (IVF) to analyze embryos for genetic health before pregnancy. A small cell is taken from each embryo and tested for specific genetic conditions or chromosomal abnormalities. This helps identify embryos with the best chance of developing into a healthy baby, reducing the risk of genetic disorders. PGT enables informed decision-making for prospective parents, improving success rates and ensuring the genetic well-being of the future child.
