Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) is an advanced laboratory procedure performed on embryos before they are transferred to the uterus during an IVF cycle.
The purpose of PGT is to evaluate embryos for genetic and chromosomal abnormalities, allowing fertility specialists to identify embryos with the highest potential for successful implantation and healthy development.
As an add-on to IVF, PGT significantly enhances embryo selection, increasing the chances of a successful pregnancy while reducing the likelihood of complications.
PGT is a multi-step process integrated into the IVF cycle:
Importantly, the inner cell mass—which develops into the baby—is not affected during the biopsy process.
PGT-A (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidies) evaluates whether an embryo has the correct number of chromosomes. A healthy embryo contains 46 chromosomes—23 from each parent. Abnormalities in chromosome number are one of the leading causes of failed implantation and early miscarriage.
PGT-A is commonly recommended for patients who:
By identifying chromosomally normal embryos, PGT-A helps reduce miscarriage risk and improves implantation success.
PGT may be recommended if you:

At GP-Fertility, all such services are provided in strict compliance with applicable legal and ethical standards.
