Our genetic testing services help couples make informed decisions.
Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) is a screening test used to determine if genetic or chromosomal abnormalities are present in embryos produced through in vitro fertilization (IVF). PGT screens embryos before they are transferred to the uterus so patients can make informed decisions about their next steps in the IVF process. Embryos unaffected by the genetic or chromosomal abnormality can be selected for transfer to the uterus.
For couples undergoing IVF, PGT may be recommended when:
