PGT-M (PGD): Identifying Inherited Genetic Disorders in Embryos

When is PGT‑M (PGD) Recommended

  • Couples with a history of genetic disorders in their families should undergo PGT-M (PGD).
  • Fertile couples with a family history of single gene disorders can also opt for an IVF cycle coupled with PGT-M (PGD)

PGT-M (PGD) Process

PGT-M is a powerful tool that can aid couples in their journey towards conceiving a healthy baby. The process involves several steps, from the initial diagnosis to the transfer of a healthy embryo. Let’s take a closer look at the steps involved in the PGT-M process.

Benefits of PGT-M

It is believed that chromosome rearrangements are hereditary. However, it can also happen spontaneously. In fact, many carriers of chromosome rearrangements are completely unaware of their status until the time they try to have children. In such circumstances, PGT-SR comes as a life saviour to help identify healthy embryos that further develop into healthy babies.

At Anderson, we test for three primary types of chromosome rearrangements which include inversions, Robertsonian translocations and reciprocal translocations. Let us look at each of them individually to understand the conditions better.

PGT-M (PGD) enables examination of single gene mutations and individual carriers of diseases.
Test is customised based on the nature of genetic disorder often associated with patient’s family medical history.
Coupling PGT-A with PGT-M reduces risk of miscarriages caused by Anueploidies.
PGT-M can be applied to any single gene disorder that has been diagnosed to be pathogenic.
