What is PGT-A?

PGT-A (formerly called PGS) is a genetic test performed on embryos to identify numerical chromosomal abnormalities (aneuploidy). This test is a genetic study of the embryo produced during IVF treatment and can help you have a healthy baby.

Who should use PGT-A?

PGT-A is especially recommended for patients with:

Advanced maternal age: 35 years old and above
Recurrent miscarriages: couples who have had two or more miscarriages
IVF failures: two or more IVF failures
Male factor infertility: a low quantity and/or quality of sperm
