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.
Genetic Workup
Identification of familial mutation or indication, probe design for PGT-M, or karyotype review for PGT-SR.
Duration: 2-4 weeksIVF and Embryo Biopsy
Standard IVF cycle with trophectoderm biopsy at blastocyst stage (Day 5-6) for genetic analysis.
Duration: 2-3 weeksGenetic Analysis
Next-generation sequencing of biopsied cells for aneuploidy screening and/or specific mutation analysis.
Duration: 1-2 weeksEmbryo Selection and Transfer
Selection of genetically normal embryos for transfer, with genetic counseling on results and remaining embryo disposition.
Duration: 1-2 days- 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
- 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
