What is PGD / PGT?

Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) or Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) is an advanced technique used during IVF to screen embryos for genetic diseases and chromosomal abnormalities before implantation.

This testing is performed prior to embryo transfer, ensuring that only healthy embryos are selected, thereby increasing the chances of a successful and healthy pregnancy.

Why is PGD / PGT Done?

PGD/PGT is recommended for couples who are at risk of passing genetic disorders to their child. It helps identify abnormal embryos so they are not transferred, allowing selection of healthy embryos.

This improves pregnancy outcomes and reduces the chances of genetic diseases in the baby.

What Conditions Can Be Detected?

PGD/PGT can identify chromosomal abnormalities such as translocations and a wide range of single gene disorders. There are over 4000 known genetic disorders that can be screened.

Common conditions tested include cystic fibrosis, Tay-Sachs disease, Fragile X syndrome, myotonic dystrophy, and thalassemia.

How PGD / PGT Works

During an IVF cycle, embryos are created in the laboratory. A few cells are carefully biopsied from each embryo and analyzed for genetic abnormalities.

Based on the results, only genetically healthy embryos are selected for transfer into the uterus, increasing the likelihood of a healthy baby.

Key Features of PGD / PGT

• Testing for known genetic conditions
• Reduces risk of affected pregnancy
• Detection of single gene disorders
• Identification of X-linked conditions
• Combined with IVF/ICSI
• Genetic counseling included
