PGT-SR Treatment in Bangalore
Have you been diagnosed with chromosomal rearrangements or faced repeated miscarriages? PGT-SR (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Structural Rearrangements) helps identify embryos with the correct chromosomal structure, improving your chances of a successful and healthy pregnancy. At Vriksh Fertility, we offer advanced genetic screening and expert embryology support to help you overcome complex genetic challenges.
The PGT-SR Journey
Targeted genetic screening for structural accuracy. PGT-SR is a specialized genetic test integrated into the IVF process for patients with chromosomal rearrangements.
Consultation & Genetic Counseling
Detailed evaluation of parental chromosomal reports (karyotyping).
IVF Cycle & Embryo Development
Egg retrieval, fertilization, and embryo culture.
Embryo Biopsy
Careful removal of a few cells from developing embryos.
Genetic Analysis
Testing embryos for structural chromosomal abnormalities.
Selection & Transfer
Only chromosomally balanced embryos are transferred.
What is PGT-SR?
PGT-SR is a genetic test used during IVF to detect structural chromosomal abnormalities such as translocations, inversions, or deletions. It identifies embryos with balanced chromosomal structure, detects unbalanced chromosomal rearrangements, and helps prevent transfer of abnormal embryos. Unlike general chromosomal screening, PGT-SR specifically targets structural rearrangements inherited from one or both parents.
Your PGT-SR Treatment – Step by Step
Your complete guide to the PGT-SR process
Preparation
Genetic counseling and karyotype analysis, IVF planning based on genetic findings
IVF & Embryo Development
Ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval, fertilization and embryo culture
Embryo Biopsy
Cells are extracted from Day 5/6 embryos (blastocysts)
Genetic Testing
Advanced molecular techniques identify chromosomal structure, embryos classified as balanced or unbalanced
Embryo Transfer
Only chromosomally normal (balanced) embryos are transferred
Is PGT-SR the Right Test for You?
PGT-SR is specifically recommended for individuals with known chromosomal rearrangements.
Female Factors
- Carrier of balanced translocation or inversion
- Recurrent pregnancy loss
- History of abnormal pregnancies
Male Factors
- Structural chromosomal abnormalities in sperm
- Abnormal karyotype results
Couple-Related Factors
- One or both partners are carriers of chromosomal rearrangements
- Previous IVF failures linked to genetic causes
- Family history of chromosomal disorders

Frequently Asked Questions about PGT-SR
PGT-SR is a genetic test used during IVF to detect structural chromosomal abnormalities like translocations or inversions in embryos.
PGT-A checks for chromosome number abnormalities, while PGT-SR focuses on structural rearrangements inherited from parents.
Couples where one or both partners have known chromosomal rearrangements or recurrent miscarriages.
It significantly reduces the risk of miscarriage by selecting chromosomally balanced embryos.
Yes, when performed by experienced embryologists, it is considered safe and does not affect embryo development significantly.
The complete process takes about 4–6 weeks, including IVF cycle and genetic testing.
It reduces genetic risks but cannot guarantee a completely healthy baby, as not all conditions are detectable.
Your doctor may discuss alternative options such as another IVF cycle or donor gametes.
No, it is recommended only when structural chromosomal abnormalities are present.
Yes, it improves success rates in patients with chromosomal rearrangements by ensuring transfer of balanced embryos.
