What id PGT Screening Procedure?
Understanding PGT
PGT is the sophisticated technique used to test the embryo for genetic defects before transferring it into the uterus in an IVF cycle. It tests chromosomal anomalies, single gene disorders, and other types of mutations affecting the viability of the embryo.
Types of PGT
- PGT-A (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy): It may be defined as the test that is used to identify whether an embryo has an abnormal number of chromosomes. This can further encompass Down Syndrome, Turner Syndrome, and other chromosomal abnormalities.
- PGT-M (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic Disorders): These are single-gene disorders such as cystic fibrosis, Huntington's disease, sickle cell anemia, etc.
- PGT-SR (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Structural Rearrangements): Conducted to determine the structural chromosomal rearrangements—such as a translocation, inversion, or deletions in a chromosome—that may be causing infertility or miscarriages.
The PGT Procedure
- Ovarian Stimulation: This process is initiated with ovarian stimulation to produce multiple eggs, which are subsequently retrieved.
- Fertilization: The retrieved eggs will become fertilized by sperm in the laboratory and become an embryo.
- Biopsy: A couple of cells from each embryo at a stage called blastocyst are carefully removed.
- Genetic Analysis: The genetic material obtained from the biopsied cells is sent for analysis for genetic abnormalities in a specialized laboratory.
- Embryo Transfer: The ones that are genetically defect-free are transferred into the uterus, so there are enhanced chances of a disease-free pregnancy.
Benefits of PGT
The associated benefits of the PGT procedure are as follows:
- Higher Success Rates: In the process of transferring only genetically healthy embryos, the chances of successful implantation and a resulting healthy pregnancy are significantly maximized.
- Reduced Risk of Genetic Disorders: PGT reduces the risk of passing on genetic disorders to offspring.
- Better Family Planning: Couples with a history of genetic disorders in their families can plan their family more confidently.
