Dr. Hrishikesh Pai provides comprehensive PGT services, enabling genetic screening for healthier pregnancies.
Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) services represent a pivotal advancement in assisted reproductive technology (ART), offering couples valuable insights into the genetic health of embryos before implantation. This innovative approach empowers individuals to make informed decisions about their reproductive journey, ultimately increasing the likelihood of successful pregnancy and healthy offspring.
PGT encompasses two distinct techniques: PGT-A (aneuploidy screening), formerly known as PGS (preimplantation genetic screening), and PGT-M (monogenic/single gene disorder testing), formerly known as PGD (preimplantation genetic diagnosis). Each technique serves a unique purpose in identifying genetic abnormalities or specific inherited conditions within embryos created through in vitro fertilization (IVF).
The process of PGT services typically involves the following steps:
It's essential for couples considering PGT services to undergo genetic counselling to understand the implications of the testing and make informed decisions about their reproductive options. Additionally, the availability of PGT services may vary depending on the fertility clinic or ART facility, so individuals should consult with their healthcare providers to determine the suitability and availability of PGT services for their specific needs.
PGT services offer couples a transformative opportunity to assess the genetic health of embryos and make informed decisions about their fertility journey. By providing valuable insights into embryo quality and genetic status, PGT services pave the way for safer, more successful IVF treatments and the birth of healthy, genetically screened offspring.
