Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT)

At Vidula Nursing Home & Fertility Clinic, we specialize in Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) to help couples achieve successful pregnancies while minimizing the risk of passing on genetic conditions. PGT is an advanced diagnostic technique used in conjunction with In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) to analyze embryos for genetic abnormalities before they are transferred to the uterus.

What is PGT?

Preimplantation Genetic Testing is a laboratory procedure performed on embryos created through IVF. A small sample of cells is biopsied from the embryo at the blastocyst stage and tested for genetic abnormalities. This ensures that only the healthiest embryos are selected for transfer, improving the chances of a successful pregnancy and a healthy baby.

Who Can Benefit from PGT?

• Couples with a history of recurrent miscarriages or implantation failures.
• Individuals with known genetic conditions they wish to avoid passing on to their child.
• Women over 35 years of age, as the risk of chromosomal abnormalities increases with maternal age.
• Couples undergoing IVF who want to improve their chances of success.
• Families with a history of chromosomal rearrangements or inherited genetic disorders.
