PGT: Предимплантационное генетическое обследование

This method allows us to detect chromosomal abnormalities in the embryo. This method is intended for couples where one or both partners are proven to carry a balanced translocation or other structural chromosomal rearrangement. Translocations are the most common structural abnormalities in chromosomes.

For whom the method is suitable

For couples where one or both partners are proven to carry a balanced translocation — i.e. signs of developmental defects are not manifested in the partners themselves, but the problem may arise when they decide to start a family.

How it works

We take a few cells from the embryos on the 5th to 6th days of their development in the lab. We then freeze the embryos and continue working only with those harvested cells. They then undergo Massively Parallel Sequencing (MPS) testing in our genetics laboratory.

Genetic testing of embryos in the laboratory takes about 3 weeks. At the end we get information about whether some parts of the chromosome are present in higher numbers or are missing. Embryos unencumbered by a chromosomal translocation or other rearrangement are selected for transfer to the uterus and can be transferred in the next cycle.
