THE FERTILE GROUP CLINIC TREATMENTS
Preimplantation Genetic Test (PGT)
Preimplantation Genetic Test (PGT) PGT is a valuable technique to prevent an eventual transmission of inherited genetic alterations. With this test, we ensure a healthy offspring, ending the transmission of the disease to future generations.
PGT is a valuable technique to prevent an eventual transmission of inherited genetic alterations.
The Fertile Group offers advanced genetic diagnostic techniques to advise patients on their reproductive future, reducing the risk of genetic disease in their offspring even before taking the first step.
The PGT is a consolidated technique that allows preventing the transmission of numerous genetic diseases from parents to children. It is performed within the framework of an in vitro fertilization cycle, and allows the detection of an affected embryo by some type of genetic disease before being transferred to the mother’s womb.
Both the PGT-M, for monogenic diseases detection, and the PGT-SR to detect structural alterations, are advanced techniques to detect an alteration or mutation of a specific gene (PGT-M) or a chromosomal structure alteration (PGT-SR), since in both cases these alterations would cause a disease to the future baby.
In order to transfer a healthy embryo and deliver a healthy baby, the PGT is indicated in several cases:
01
Couples
Couples with one of the two members are affected by a genetic disease inherited in a dominant manner (50% of their children can inherit the disease).
02
The mother is a carrier of a genetic disease
Couples in which the mother is a carrier of a genetic disease linked to sex (50% of her children could get it).
03
Both partners are carriers of a genetic disease
Couples in which both partners are carriers of a genetic disease inherited in a recessive manner (25% of their children would have the possibility to get sick).
04
Family history of a genetic disease.
05
Couples in which a member is a carrier of a structural chromosomal alteration.
PGT step by step
01
PGT-M
To detect possible monogenic diseases, we need a previous study to obtain all the necessary information. The duration of this phase varies according to the gene to be studied. Throughout the entire process, our specialists and the psychological support unit will always guide our patients with a close and personalized treatment.
02
PGT-SR
To detect structural alterations in embryos or the presence of anomalous chromosomes due to the rupture or incorrect union of several segments, may be necessary specific studies prior to the biopsy process.
Goal
The Fertile Group offers the possibility to perform PGT to reduce the risk of miscarriage and increase the chances to deliver a healthy baby free of specific chromosomal syndromes.
