Preimplantation Screening

Preimplantation screening (genetic testing) of embryos prior to implantation in the womb is an established, but still fast-developing area of medical science.

At CRGH we offer two different forms of embryo genetic testing, which have different purposes:

PGT-A – Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (chromosomal abnormality) (PGT-A), also known as preimplantation genetic screening (PGS), is a very early method of screening the chromosomal make-up of embryos with the aim of reducing the risk of miscarriage, multiple pregnancy and time to pregnancy for specific groups of patients.  Please refer to https://crgh.co.uk/pgs-aneuploidy-screening/ for further information on PGT-A. 

PGD – Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis – is a test aimed at couples who are at high risk of having a baby with a known, severe, genetic condition. This test diagnoses which embryos will be affected with the condition with the aim of selecting only unaffected embryos for transfer into the womb. Please refer to https://crgh.co.uk/pgd-preimplantation-genetic-diagnosis/ for further information on PGD.
