Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy (PGT-A)
What is PGT-A?
Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy (PGT-A), formerly known as PGS, is a technique used during an IVF cycle. A few cells are biopsied from a day-5 or day-6 blastocyst embryo. These cells are then genetically analyzed to screen for missing or extra chromosomes (e.g., Down syndrome, Turner syndrome) before an embryo is selected for transfer.
Our PGT-A Process Includes:
- IVF Cycle with Blastocyst Culture: Embryos are cultured to the blastocyst stage to allow for a safe biopsy.
- Embryo Biopsy: Our expert embryologists use a laser to gently remove a few cells from the part of the embryo that will become the placenta (trophectoderm), leaving the inner cell mass (which becomes the baby) untouched.
- Genetic Analysis: The biopsied cells are sent to a specialized genetics lab for comprehensive chromosomal screening.
- Cryopreservation: The embryos are frozen while awaiting the genetic results (typically 1-2 weeks).
- Cryopreservation: The embryos are frozen while awaiting the genetic results (typically 1-2 weeks).
Common Questions PGT-A
Q: Who is PGT-A recommended for? A: It is often recommended for women over 35, those with a history of recurrent miscarriage, multiple failed IVF cycles, or a history of chromosomal abnormalities in a previous pregnancy.
Q:Does biopsying the embryo harm it?
A: When performed by experienced embryologists on a well-developed blastocyst, the biopsy is very safe. The risk of damaging the embryo is extremely low.
Q: What if all my embryos are abnormal? A: While this can be difficult news, it provides a clear explanation for past struggles and prevents going through a transfer that has no chance of success. It allows for a redirected and more informed treatment plan.
Q: What are my next steps?
A: Your next step is to schedule a genetic counseling consultation to discuss the benefits, limitations, and process of PGT-A for your specific situation. Call us at 083103 09167 or schedule online at www.drjyotibandi.in.
Why Choose Us for PGT-A in Bangalore?
- Higher Implantation Rates: Transferring a known euploid embryo dramatically increases the chance of implantation per transfer.
- Reduced Miscarriage Risk: By avoiding the transfer of embryos with lethal chromosomal errors, the risk of miscarriage is significantly lowered.
- Faster Time to Pregnancy: Reduces the emotional and financial burden of multiple failed transfers by selecting the embryo most likely to succeed.
- Single Embryo Transfer (SET): Provides the confidence to transfer a single embryo, virtually eliminating the risk of twins or triplets while maintaining high success rates.
