Genetic Testing (PGT) in Chandigarh

Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) is an advanced reproductive technology that helps identify healthy embryos before implantation during an IVF cycle. At Dr. Manisha Jain's Fertility Centre, we offer personalized PGT services to improve pregnancy outcomes, reduce the risk of inherited genetic disorders, and support the birth of a healthy baby.

What is Genetic Testing (PGT)?

Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) is a laboratory technique performed during an IVF cycle to evaluate embryos for chromosomal abnormalities or specific inherited genetic conditions before they are transferred to the uterus.

A few cells are carefully removed from the developing embryo without affecting its growth. These cells are analyzed in a specialized genetics laboratory, allowing your fertility specialist to select embryos with the highest potential for a healthy pregnancy.

Who Should Consider PGT?

PGT may be recommended for couples who have:

Recurrent miscarriages caused by chromosomal abnormalities
Previous IVF failures or repeated implantation failure
Advanced maternal age (typically 35 years or older)
A family history of inherited genetic disorders
Known carrier status for single-gene diseases
Previous pregnancy affected by a genetic condition

Our Personalized PGT Approach

Every couple receives a comprehensive fertility and genetic evaluation before beginning treatment. Dr. Manisha Jain works closely with experienced embryologists and genetic specialists to determine whether PGT is appropriate based on your medical history, family history, and IVF treatment plan.

After IVF, embryos are cultured until the blastocyst stage, where a small biopsy is performed. The samples are analyzed using advanced genetic testing techniques, and only suitable embryos are selected for transfer, improving the likelihood of a healthy pregnancy.

Throughout the process, our team provides detailed counselling so that you understand each step, the benefits, limitations, and expected outcomes of genetic testing.

Frequently Asked Questions

PGT helps identify embryos with normal chromosome numbers or without specific inherited genetic disorders before embryo transfer, supporting informed embryo selection during an IVF cycle.

No. While PGT can identify certain chromosomal abnormalities and specific inherited conditions, it cannot detect every possible medical condition or guarantee a successful pregnancy or healthy baby.

Embryo biopsy is performed by experienced embryologists using specialized techniques. Your fertility specialist will discuss the potential benefits and risks in the context of your individual treatment plan.

PGT may be particularly beneficial for couples with recurrent pregnancy loss, repeated IVF failure, known genetic disorders, advanced maternal age, or a history that suggests an increased risk of chromosomal abnormalities.
