Knowledge That Protects the Next Generation
Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic Conditions (PGT-M) can test embryos for a specific inherited condition identified in your family before transfer. PGT-M was formerly known as Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD).
What to Expect
A connected sequence of treatment steps from the first consultation through follow-up.
Genetic Counselling
A detailed session with a genetic counsellor to understand the condition in your family, confirm whether PGT-M is possible, and discuss the process and results.
IVF or ICSI Cycle
A standard IVF or ICSI cycle is carried out to create embryos in our embryology lab — ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, and fertilisation using the most appropriate technique for your situation.
Embryo Biopsy
Once embryos have developed sufficiently, our embryologists take a small number of cells from each embryo selected for testing. The biopsy is performed carefully under microscopy.
Targeted Genetic Testing
The biopsied cells are analysed in a specialist genetics laboratory for the specific condition identified during counselling. Testing is highly targeted — it looks for what your family's genetic profile requires.
Results & Transfer Planning
Your specialist and counsellor review the results with you fully and sensitively. Unaffected embryos are identified for transfer; the timing and approach for frozen embryo transfer is then planned together.
