Types of PGT: PGT-A, PGT-M, and PGT-SR
PGT-A (Aneuploidy): Screens for the correct number of chromosomes (46).
PGT-M (Monogenic): Detects specific single-gene inherited disorders.
PGT-SR (Structural Rearrangements): Evaluates chromosomal translocations and inversions.
How Embryo Biopsy is Safely Performed
On Day 5 or 6, a few cells from the trophectoderm (which later forms the placenta) are carefully sampled using an advanced laser microscope, leaving the inner cell mass (the baby) untouched and safe.
