PGT-A

Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy

PGT-A, formerly known as PGS, is a genetic screening test performed on embryos before implantation. Using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS),the current global standard for chromosomal analysis.PGT-A evaluates all 23 pairs of chromosomes to detect abnormalities such as Down syndrome. This helps reduce the risk of miscarriage and improves the chances of a healthy pregnancy. Who Should Consider PGT-A?

• Women over 35 years old

• Women with a history of miscarriage

• Men and/or women who have been found to carry chromosomal abnormalities

• Couples who have experienced previous unsuccessful IVF cycles

For couples undergoing IVF, PGT-A is recommended to ensure only chromosomally healthy embryos are transferred to the uterus. Following a successful transfer, a Qualifi NIPT (Non-Invasive Prenatal Test) is advised after 10 weeks of pregnancy to monitor the baby’s chromosomal health throughout gestation.
