What is Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT)?

PGT is an advanced IVF technique to test embryos for genetic abnormalities before uterine transfer. It helps identify healthy embryos, increasing chances for a successful pregnancy and a healthy baby for couples at risk of passing on genetic conditions.

What are the Types of PGT?

When is PGT Recommended?

• Advanced maternal age.
• Recurrent miscarriages or IVF failures.
• Known carriers of single-gene disorders.
• Known chromosomal structural rearrangements.
• Desire to avoid severe genetic conditions.

How is a Patient Evaluated for PGT?

• Fertility assessment for both partners.
• Genetic counseling, carrier screening, and karyotyping.
• Medical history review.
• Fertility specialist consultation for treatment plan.

How is Preimplantation Genetic Testing Performed?

PGT is a multi-step process within an IVF cycle.

What is the Recovery Process After PGT?

Recovery mainly concerns egg retrieval; light activities resume quickly. Post-transfer, reduced activity is advised. Follow medication, lifestyle guidance, and scheduled follow-ups including pregnancy testing and ultrasound scans for ongoing pregnancy monitoring.

Risks and Success Rates of PGT

• Minimal risk of embryo damage.
• Rare potential for misdiagnosis.
• Not all embryos suitable for testing.
• Emotional stress.
• General IVF risks (e.g., OHSS).

PGT success correlates with IVF outcomes. It improves implantation of normal embryos but doesn't guarantee pregnancy. Factors like maternal age and embryo quality influence results. PGT significantly lowers miscarriage rates and boosts live births per transfer, aiming for a healthy, unaffected baby.

How Much Does Preimplantation Genetic Testing Cost in India?

PGT in India offers advanced care affordably. Costs vary by PGT type, number of embryos, clinic technology, specialist fees, and associated IVF procedures. India provides a cost-effective solution without compromising quality.

PGT in India typically ranges from INR 100,000 to INR 300,000 per cycle, excluding IVF costs.
