Preimplantationgenetic testing (PGT)
Genetic studies performed on embryos obtained through in vitro fertilization techniques, before their transfer to the uterus, in order to identify chromosomal alterations and to determine sex selection.
Estimated duration
PGT results are available 14 to 21 days after embryo culture, so the transfer is normally deferred to a later cycle.
Where it is performed
Samples are taken at our facilities in Mexico City and processed together with genetic institutions in Mexico and in Europe.

What are preimplantation genetic testing (PGT)?
Preimplantation genetic testing, known as PGT, refers to studies that allow an embryo to be analyzed genetically before it is transferred to the uterus. These tests can identify certain chromosomal alterations and also reveal the chromosomal sex (XX or XY) of each embryo.
Who is it indicated for?
They may be considered in cases of advanced maternal age, recurrent pregnancy loss, previous implantation failure, or a family history of genetic conditions. Your specialist will assess your particular situation and advise you on when this test can provide useful information for your diagnosis.

Questions about preimplantation genetic testing (PGT)
Everything starts with an initial consultation: your treating physician reviews your history, tests and goals, and from there defines with you whether preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) is the best option for your case.
