Pre-implantation Genetic Testing (PGT) in Bangalore
Immediate Lifesaving Support
Ensuring a Healthy Beginning
At Miracle Hospital in Bangalore, we offer Pre-implantation Genetic Testing (PGT) as a powerful and advanced tool to give your baby the healthiest possible start in life. PGT is a genetic screening of embryos before they are transferred to the uterus during an IVF cycle. It allows us to detect chromosomal abnormalities or specific genetic disorders, significantly improving your chances of a successful pregnancy and a healthy baby.
Our expert team of fertility specialists, including skilled embryologists and genetic counselors, is committed to providing a precise, compassionate, and transparent process. We use cutting-edge technology to identify the most viable embryos, ensuring peace of mind on your journey to parenthood.
What is Pre-implantation Genetic Testing (PGT)?
PGT is a sophisticated procedure performed on embryos created through IVF. It involves carefully taking a few cells from the outer layer of the embryo (trophectoderm) and analyzing them for genetic abnormalities. This allows our specialists to select only the healthiest embryos for transfer, reducing the risk of miscarriage, failed implantation, and the chance of passing on a genetic disorder.
PGT is highly recommended for
Advanced Maternal Age (37+)
Recurrent Pregnancy Loss
Repeated IVF Failure
Known Genetic Disorders
Previous Pregnancy with a Genetic Disorder
Types of PGT We Offer at Miracle Hospital in Bangalore
We provide a comprehensive suite of PGT services, each designed to address a specific set of genetic concerns.
- PGT-A (for Aneuploidy): This is the most common form of PGT. It screens embryos for the correct number of chromosomes (46). Embryos with missing or extra chromosomes (aneuploidy) are the leading cause of failed implantation and miscarriage.
- PGT-M (for Monogenic/Single Gene Disorders): This test screens for a specific genetic disorder that a couple is known to carry (e.g., Thalassemia, Muscular Dystrophy).
- PGT-SR (for Structural Rearrangements): This test is for couples who are carriers of a chromosomal structural rearrangement (like a translocation or inversion), which can lead to miscarriages or an affected child.
Our PGT Process in Bangalore
Our PGT procedure is seamlessly integrated into your IVF cycle, ensuring a coordinated and expertly managed experience.
- IVF Cycle: The process begins with an IVF cycle to create embryos.
- Blastocyst Culture: The embryos are cultured for 5-6 days in our state-of-the-art lab until they reach the blastocyst stage. This allows for the selection of the most robust embryos.
- Embryo Biopsy: Our skilled embryologists carefully perform a biopsy, removing a few cells from the part of the embryo that will form the placenta. This procedure is safe and does not harm the embryo.
- Genetic Analysis: The biopsied cells are sent for genetic analysis. The embryos are safely frozen (vitrified) while we await the results.
- Embryo Transfer: Once the results are available (typically in 7-10 days), our specialists select the genetically normal embryo(s) for a frozen embryo transfer in a subsequent cycle.
