About This Treatment

Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) combined with IVF enables screening for aneuploidy (PGT-A), monogenic disorders (PGT-M), and structural rearrangements (PGT-SR). Leading centers include Peking University Third Hospital, CITIC-Xiangya Reproductive Hospital, and Sun Yat-sen University affiliated centers. China's strict regulatory framework ensures quality control, and the treatment is ideal for carriers of genetic diseases, women with recurrent miscarriage, or those of advanced maternal age.

Procedure Steps
1

Ovarian Stimulation and Egg Retrieval

Hormonal stimulation protocol over 10-14 days followed by ultrasound-guided transvaginal oocyte retrieval under sedation.

Duration: 2-3 weeks
2

Fertilization and Embryo Culture

ICSI fertilization of retrieved oocytes and extended culture to blastocyst stage (Day 5-6) in controlled laboratory conditions.

Duration: 5-6 days
3

Genetic Biopsy and Testing

Trophectoderm biopsy of blastocysts with next-generation sequencing for chromosomal analysis (PGT-A) or specific genetic mutation screening (PGT-M/SR).

Duration: 2-3 weeks
4

Embryo Transfer of Screened Embryos

Transfer of genetically normal embryo(s) into prepared uterus in a subsequent natural or medicated frozen embryo transfer cycle.

Duration: 2-3 weeks
Benefits
  • 60-70% cost savings compared to equivalent PGT-IVF in the US
  • Prevents transmission of genetic diseases to offspring
  • Higher implantation rates with chromosomally normal embryos
  • Significantly reduces miscarriage risk in high-risk populations
Considerations
  • No guarantee of pregnancy even with genetically normal embryos
  • Small risk of embryo damage during trophectoderm biopsy (1-2%)
  • Emotional and physical stress of the IVF process
  • May require multiple cycles if insufficient normal embryos obtained
