Preimplantation Genetic Testing

Types of Preimplantation Genetic Testing

Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy (PGTA)

Advances in fertility technology can increase the chances of conception of a genetically healthy baby through PGTA testing. This testing identifies chromosomal abnormalities that could result in miscarriage or genetic disorders. When combined with our personalized treatment plans, PGT can support you in achieving your family-building dreams.

Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic/Single Gene Defects (PGT-M)

PGT-M helps prevent the transmission of specific hereditary diseases to your child. Often patients are aware of disease they have or a family member may have or by completing genetic carrier screening find out that you and your partner are both carriers for the same genetic disorder and need to complete PGT-M testing on your embryos. 

Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Structure Rearrangement (PGT-SR)

PGT-SR can identify structural abnormalities in chromosomes. Patients who require PGT-SR often have a history of multiple miscarriages.

IVFwith Genetic Testing

Sometimes families wish to choose the gender of their child. The methods we use make it possible.

Family balancing is a term that sometimes get used during an IVF cycle. What it really means is: with IVF, you can often choose the gender of your child. There are two primary motivators that lead couples to choose the path of sex selection—medical necessity and family balancing.

We’re here to make your dreams come true—with compassion and without judgment.
