About This Treatment

Genetic testing of IVF embryos before transfer to prevent transmission of inherited conditions or chromosomal abnormalities. China's reproductive genetics centers offer PGT-A (aneuploidy), PGT-M (monogenic diseases), and PGT-SR (structural rearrangements) with advanced biopsy techniques and comprehensive genomic analysis. Significantly improves IVF success rates while preventing genetic disease transmission.

Procedure Steps
1

Genetic Workup

Identification of familial mutation or indication, probe design for PGT-M, or karyotype review for PGT-SR.

Duration: 2-4 weeks
2

IVF and Embryo Biopsy

Standard IVF cycle with trophectoderm biopsy at blastocyst stage (Day 5-6) for genetic analysis.

Duration: 2-3 weeks
3

Genetic Analysis

Next-generation sequencing of biopsied cells for aneuploidy screening and/or specific mutation analysis.

Duration: 1-2 weeks
4

Embryo Selection and Transfer

Selection of genetically normal embryos for transfer, with genetic counseling on results and remaining embryo disposition.

Duration: 1-2 days
Benefits
  • Prevents transmission of known genetic conditions to offspring
  • Aneuploidy screening improves IVF implantation and pregnancy rates
  • China's high-volume IVF centers have extensive PGT experience
  • Combined PGT-A and PGT-M testing available at lower cost
Considerations
  • Biopsy carries small risk of embryo damage
  • Not all embryos may be suitable for testing or transfer
  • Mosaicism may lead to inconclusive results
  • IVF itself carries standard procedural and hormonal risks
