PGT-M | Pre Pregnancy Screening For Genetic Disorders in HSR Layout, Bangalore
PGT-M (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic/Single Gene Disorders) is a cutting-edge, in-vitro fertilization (IVF) procedure that uses advanced genetic testing to screen embryos for monogenic or single gene disorders.
How Does PGT-M Work?
The process begins with IVF to create embryos. A few days later, a small cell sample is taken from each embryo and analyzed for monogenic or single gene disorders. Embryos that are free of these genetic abnormalities are then selected for transfer to the uterus.
What are the Benefits of PGT-M?
PGT-M can help couples who are at risk of passing on a monogenic or single gene disorder to their child to have a healthy pregnancy and baby. This type of genetic testing can also provide peace of mind for couples who are looking to start a family.
Who Should Consider PGT-M?
If you or your partner are carriers of a monogenic or single gene disorder, or have a family history of these disorders, PGT-M may be right for you. Consult with your fertility specialist to determine if this innovative treatment can help you achieve your desired outcomes.
FAQ's on PGT-M Treatment
PGT-M is performed by taking a sample of cells from the blastomeres (cells in the early-stage embryo) and analyzing them for the presence of specific mutations or variations in the genes of interest. This can be done through a variety of methods, including polymerase chain reaction (PCR), sequencing, and next-generation sequencing (NGS).
The benefits of PGT-M include the ability to identify embryos that are free of the specific genetic mutations or variations associated with monogenic disorders, increasing the chances of a successful pregnancy and the birth of a healthy baby. PGT-M can also reduce the risk of passing on genetic disorders to the child and minimize the emotional stress associated with the uncertainty of whether a genetic disorder will be present in the child. Additionally, by only transferring genetically normal embryos to the uterus, PGT-M can also help to reduce the number of unsuccessful IVF cycles.
