Understanding Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT)

✍️ By Dr. Prathima Kamisetty β€’ πŸ“… August 16, 2026 β€’ ⏱️ 6 min read

Preimplantation Genetic Testing allows fertility specialists to assess chromosomal euploidy before embryo transfer, significantly maximizing implantation rates and reducing miscarriage occurrences.

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.
