IVF with embryo genetic testing
The AVA Clinic's embryo laboratory conducts genetic and chromosomal abnormality testing on embryos as part of the in vitro fertilization procedure to help ensure the birth of healthy children.
Preimplantation genetic screening enables us to analyse the DNA of embryos to select those with the correct genetic profile. This is performed as part of the IVF procedure prior to transferring the embryos into the uterus.

Additional genetic screening
Depending on your medical history and your family's medical history, you may be offered additional genetic screening as part of your IVF procedure. This may include embryo genetic screening using the PGT-A method, or genetic diagnosis using the PGT-SR or PGT-M methods.

Preimplantation genetic testing of embryos
Preimplantation genetic testing of embryos for aneuploidy using the PGT-A method is performed as part of the IVF procedure prior to transferring the embryo or embryos into the uterus. This technique tests embryos for the normal number of chromosomes, distinguishing it from preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD or PGT-SR/PGT-M), which targets specific genetic defects associated with particular diseases.
Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD or PGT-SR/PGT-M) is only recommended for individuals or couples who have or are carriers of a specific genetic condition, and are therefore at risk of transmitting the condition to their child.

Normal chromosome number
A normal chromosome count is crucial to the development of a healthy embryo. Any variation in the number of chromosomes, whether an increase or decrease, can indicate a number of issues and may lead to early miscarriage or prevent pregnancy following IVF.
The primary reason for failed embryo implantation during IVF treatment is the presence of chromosomal abnormalities in the embryos. Chromosomal abnormalities are also responsible for about 70% of early miscarriages.
Genetic screening of embryos for chromosomal abnormalities can enhance your chances of pregnancy by at least 20%.

This process can be performed with any type of IVF procedure but is most often recommended for the following groups:
Women over 37 years of age.
After several failed in vitro fertilization attempts.
Couples with a history of multiple miscarriages.
Couples who want to have only one child (SET selective).
Sperm meiosis disorders (usually associated with other sperm quality disorders).
Couples at risk of transmitting chromosomal translocations or inherited genetic diseases (also with single gene disorders).
