At Annandale Fertility, we have partnered with Igenomix, the industry's foremost expert in genetic testing. We trust they will handle your embryos with the utmost care.
Are you and your partner struggling to conceive? Or perhaps you're already undergoing IVF treatments? Our pre-implementation genetic testing (PGT) is here to offer you a personalized approach to fertility care, tailored specifically to your genetic profile.
Pre-Implementation Genetic Testing (PGT) is a cutting-edge technique used in conjunction with IVF treatments. It involves screening your embryos for genetic conditions before they are implanted.
By identifying potential genetic issues early on, we can improve the success rates of your fertility treatments and reduce associated risks.
PGT-A detects chromosomal abnormalities that could impact your embryo’s viability.
PGT-M screens for specific genetic disorders that you or your partner may carry.
PGT-SR identifies chromosomal structural rearrangements that could affect embryo development.
PGT, or Pre-implantation Genetic Testing, is performed alongside the IVF treatment process. This involves a few key steps that are crucial in ensuring the health and success of your pregnancy.
Firstly, during your initial consultation with our providers, you will discuss any potential genetic disorders or conditions that you or your partner may carry. This is followed by a simple blood test to analyze your genetic profile.
The next step involves undergoing an IVF cycle, where embryos are created through fertilization in a laboratory setting. During this process, embryo biopsy is performed, which involves removing cells from the embryos for further testing.
The cells are then analyzed using advanced genetic techniques, such as Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) or Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), to identify any potential genetic abnormalities.
Based on the results, the healthiest embryos are selected for transfer into the uterus. This personalized approach helps increase the chances of a successful pregnancy.
