Preimplantation Genetic Screening Test in Mohali
For couples facing recurrent miscarriage, repeated IVF failure, or advanced maternal age, preimplantation genetic screening helps identify chromosomally healthy embryos before transfer, giving families across Mohali a clearer, confident path.
Dr. Preeti Jindal works closely with certified genetic laboratories to interpret results accurately and guide every embryo transfer decision at The Touch Clinic in Mohali.
Human embryos frequently carry chromosomal abnormalities, especially as maternal age increases, and these are often invisible under a microscope, making genetic screening essential for identifying the healthiest embryos available today.
About Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGT-A)
Preimplantation Genetic Screening, now more precisely called PGT-A, examines embryo cells for chromosomal abnormalities before transfer, ensuring only genetically balanced embryos are selected each time.
Who Needs PGT-A Testing?
PGT-A is typically recommended for couples with advanced maternal age, recurrent pregnancy loss, repeated IVF failure, or a known family history of chromosomal conditions overall.
Key Recommendations:
Advanced maternal age, generally above thirty-seven years
Recurrent pregnancy loss with no other identified cause
Repeated IVF failures despite transferring good-quality embryos
Known family history of specific chromosomal conditions
Multiple embryos available requiring prioritized transfer selection
Benefits of PGT-A Genetic Screening
PGT-A helps identify chromosomally normal embryos before transfer, reducing miscarriage risk and improving the overall likelihood of a healthy, successful pregnancy for many couples today.
Reduces risk of miscarriage from chromosomal abnormalities
Improves chances of a successful single embryo transfer
Helps prioritize which embryo to transfer first
Reduces emotional and financial cost of failed cycles
Provides clarity for couples with recurrent pregnancy loss
PGT-A Testing Step-by-Step
PGT-A is performed during an IVF cycle, with a small embryo biopsy taken at the blastocyst stage before genetic analysis and transfer decisions occur properly.
Step 1: Fertility Assessment & IVF Planning
Initial evaluation confirms whether PGT-A is appropriate alongside your IVF treatment plan.
Step 2: Ovarian Stimulation & Egg Retrieval
Fertility medication stimulates the ovaries, and mature eggs are retrieved under guidance.
Step 3: Fertilization via IVF or ICSI
Eggs are fertilized in the lab using conventional IVF or ICSI as needed.
Step 4: Embryo Culture to Blastocyst Stage
Embryos are cultured for five to six days until reaching the blastocyst stage.
Step 5: Embryo Biopsy
A few cells are carefully removed from the embryo's outer layer for testing.
Step 6: Genetic Analysis
Biopsied cells are analyzed at a certified genetics lab for chromosomal abnormalities.
Step 7: Selection & Embryo Transfer
Only chromosomally normal embryos are selected and transferred, often after freezing.
