What is PGT

The only way to determine if an embryo is predicted to be affected with a genetic condition or chromosomal disorder prior to achieving pregnancy.
Learn more

Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) is performed in conjunction with an In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) cycle and can significantly reduce the chances of having a baby with a specific genetic condition or chromosomal abnormality. There are various types of PGT available, depending on the needs of the individuals.

Reliable Information for Family Planning

Reproductive Genetic Innovations offers state-of-the-art technologies to test embryos for Aneuploidies, Structural Rearrangements, Human Leukocyte Antigen and many different Monogenic (Single Gene) Disorders.

Testing can determine if an embryo contains the normal number of chromosomes or abnormality (which often causes birth defects and intellectual disabilities), reduces the chance of failed implantation or an early miscarriage, or whether an embryo is predicted to be affected with a genetic condition prior to achieving pregnancy.  Some of the most common testable conditions can be found below.  For our full list of testable single-gene disorders,  CLICK HERE.

Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy (PGT-A)

RGI is a recognized leader in the field of assisted reproductive technologies and has performed Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) for thousands of families all over the world.

PGT-A determines if an embryo contains the normal number of chromosomes prior to pregnancy, transfer of which can optimize the success of an In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) cycle and reduce the chance of miscarriage.

Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic / Single Gene Defects (PGT-M)

PGT-M detects genetic conditions prior to pregnancy, including autosomal dominant, recessive, X-linked, and de novo conditions, which can help at-risk couples have children free of their family’s genetic diseases.

PGT-M allows for the selection of embryos free of a specific genetic disorder while avoiding the difficult decision about the outcome of a pregnancy following abnormal prenatal test results. RGI tests for some of the rarest conditions, offering customized test set-ups not available at other labs.

Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Structural Rearrangements (PGT-SR)

PGT-SR identifies structural chromosomal abnormalities caused by rearrangements, including translocations, inversions, deletions and duplications, prior to achievement of a pregnancy.

PGT-SR allows for a viable pregnancy, reducing or avoiding the chance of a failed implantation, miscarriage and/or the birth of a child with congenital anomalies, resulting from an unbalanced chromosome translocation.

Preimplantation Genetic Testing Human Leukocyte Antigen (PGT-HLA)

PGT-HLA identifies embryos that are HLA compatible with a child who is in need of a bone marrow or cord blood transplant used to treat a sibling affected with certain blood disorders.

PGT-HLA is requested by couples where a previous child is in need of a bone marrow or cord blood transplant due to a genetic disorder. In planning future pregnancy, not only is it desired to have a child without the disorder, but an HLA-compatible child whose umbilical cord blood can be used for stem cell transplantation, to provide normally functioning bone marrow.

Pioneers in Preimplantation Genetic Testing

RGI is an internationally recognized leader in the field of assisted reproductive technologies and has performed Preimplantation Genetic Testing for thousands of families all over the world.

With over 30 years of experience in the field, we have helped to facilitate the birth of more than 10,000 healthy babies. Our PGT and IVF labs are where our expert staff of scientists, doctors, and genetic counselors were among the first in the world to successfully implement innovative techniques for families interested in genetic testing on their embryos as a part of the IVF process.

RGI boasts one of the largest catalogs of testable gene mutations and disorders (700+ Single Gene Disorders and counting) in the world. Our proprietary techniques and customized testing processes are significantly more comprehensive with 98% accuracy.
