PGT-M  (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic)

Who Should Do the Test? (Symptoms and Eligibility Criteria)

PGT-M, or Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic Disorders, is a specialised genetic test performed during IVF to screen embryos for specific inherited genetic conditions. This test is highly recommended for individuals or couples who meet the following criteria:

• • Known Carriers of Genetic Disorders: If you or your partner are carriers of single-gene disorders such as cystic fibrosis, thalassemia, or sickle cell anaemia. 
  • Family History of Genetic Conditions: Families with a history of inherited genetic disorders can consider this test to prevent their transmission. 
  • Recurrent Pregnancy Loss: Women with a history of multiple miscarriages linked to genetic abnormalities. 
  • Previous Pregnancy with a Genetic Disorder: Couples looking to avoid recurrence of genetic conditions in subsequent pregnancies. 
  • Advanced Maternal Age: Women over 35 are at a higher risk of passing chromosomal abnormalities to their child. 

This cutting-edge test provides hope and clarity for those concerned about the risks of passing genetic disorders to their children. 

How is the Test Performed? 

The PGT-M process at Mamata Fertility Hospital Hyderabad is carefully coordinated to ensure the accuracy and safety of every step. Here is how the test is performed:

1. 1. IVF Procedure: Embryos are created through in vitro fertilisation by combining the eggs and sperm in a controlled laboratory setting. 
   2. Biopsy of Embryos: A small number of cells are painlessly extracted from each embryo on the fifth or sixth day of development. 
   3. Genetic Analysis: These cells are analysed using sophisticated genetic screening tools to detect specific inheritable conditions. 
   4. Selection of Healthy Embryos: Only embryos free from the targeted genetic condition are selected for transfer, helping reduce the risk of passing on disorders. 

Our state-of-the-art techniques ensure highly reliable results while maintaining the viability of embryos for implantation.

How to Prepare for the Test? 

Preparation is key to ensure a smooth and stress-free testing process. We recommend the following steps:

• • Medical Consultation: Schedule a thorough consultation with our genetic counsellors to discuss your family history, medical background, and fertility goals. 
  • Fertility Assessment: Undergo essential fertility tests, such as hormone profiling and ovarian reserve analysis, to ensure IVF readiness. 
  • Lifestyle Adjustments: Adopt a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and minimise stress to improve egg and sperm quality. 
  • Understand the Process: Familiarise yourself with the IVF and PGT-M procedures to build confidence and clarity. 
  • Follow Physician Guidelines: Adhere to any specific medical preparations or instructions provided by our specialists. 

Being well-prepared sets the foundation for a successful and seamless testing experience.
