PGT-A, PGT-M, PGT-SR explained
PGT-A (aneuploidy) screens for whole-chromosome errors that cause failed implantation or miscarriage.
PGT-M (monogenic) tests for specific inherited single-gene disorders when a parent is a known carrier.
PGT-SR (structural rearrangement) detects unbalanced translocations in couples with known balanced rearrangements.
Patient selection
- Advanced maternal age (≥38) with elevated aneuploidy risk
- Recurrent pregnancy loss with documented aneuploid losses
- Recurrent IVF implantation failure
- Known parental balanced translocation
- Known inherited genetic condition with family history
What PGT cannot do
PGT-A reduces miscarriage rates and time to live birth in older women but does not increase cumulative live birth rates in all populations. Biopsy carries small risk of embryo damage. Mosaicism complicates results in 15-20 percent of biopsies.
