Couples who have a known familial genetic mutation may still want to have children. They are often encouraged to use Invitro Fertilization (IVF) to achieve pregnancy.

During the IVF cycle a genetic test of the embryos called PGT-M, or preimplantation genetic testing for monogenetic disorder, can be used to test the presence of a genetic mutation known in the family. PGT-M can also provide chromosomal analysis for gender detection of the tested embryos.

Before PGT-M testing is arranged, a mandatory PPGT-M, or pre-preimplantation genetic testing for monogenetic disorder test, is used as a confirmation test for a couple with a known genetic disease who are planning to perform IVF

Why Choose Genalive PGT-M?

PGT-M at Genalive provides a wide range of genetic disease testing with benefits that include:

Identifying embryos carrying genetic mutations responsible for monogenic diseases before they are transferred to the uterus. This can help avoid the emotional and ethical challenges associated with terminating a pregnancy due to a genetic abnormality.

Prevention of having an abnormal baby with a genetic disease.
