Fertility Care Genetic Testing
Additional Insight During IVF
Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) analyzes embryos created during IVF to evaluate chromosomal health or specific genetic conditions.
This testing can provide additional information when selecting embryos for transfer.
What Genetic Testing Can Identify
PGT may evaluate:
- Chromosomal abnormalities
- Certain inherited genetic conditions
- Embryo genetic health
For some patients, this information can help guide embryo selection and reduce the risk of miscarriage.
Personalized Guidance
Genetic testing is offered as part of a thoughtful fertility plan—not as a routine requirement.
