What is Preimplantation Genetic Screening?

Before being transferred to the uterus, your embryos can be tested for abnormal chromosomes. This is known as preimplantation genetic testing, or PGT. It is carried out in a laboratory using in vitro fertilisation (IVF). For more information on IVF, please see the ASRM fact sheet titled In vitro fertilisation (IVF). One or more cells from each embryo are sent for genetic testing. Genetically healthy embryos are transferred to the uterus, where they may attach to the lining and result in a pregnancy.

Why it is done?

PGS is the process of examining an embryo for chromosomal abnormalities. Many embryos with chromosomal abnormalities will either fail to develop into a pregnancy or result in a miscarriage. Every woman will have some chromosomally abnormal eggs. Every man has some sperm that is chromosomally abnormal. Many factors, including the parents' age and health history, can influence the percentage of abnormal embryos.

What is procedure for Preimplantation Genetic Screening?

While the embryo is growing in the IVF laboratory, one or more cells are removed and sent for genetic testing. The testing can be done in stages using various techniques. Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), microarray, and single-nucleotide polymorphism are some of the techniques used (SNP).

Techniques are constantly evolving and changing in order to become more accurate, easier to use, and provide more information. Newer techniques for genetic testing, such as microarray and genome sequencing, are becoming more popular.

How does one prepare for the test? 

No special preparation is needed.
