PGT can identify chromosomal abnormalities like aneuploidy (abnormal number of chromosomes), single gene disorders (e.g., cystic fibrosis, sickle cell disease), and structural chromosomal rearrangements.

Question 35

How is PGT performed?

Accepted Answer

Embryos are retrieved through IVF, usually at the blastocyst stage (about five or six days after fertilization). The cells from each of the embryos are taken out and their genetic abnormalities are determined by the use of techniques such as Polymerase Chain Reaction or Next-Generation Sequencing.

Question 36

How does PGT-A, PGT-M, and PGT-SR differ?

Accepted Answer

PGT-A (Aneuploidy screening) screens embryos for aneuploidy. PGT-M (Monogenic disorders) detects monogenic disorders. PGT-SR identifies structural abnormalities in chromosomes.

Question 37

What is Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) and how is it used?
