PGT Testing in India
Preimplantation Genetic Testing helps select the healthiest embryo for transfer — improving IVF success and reducing the risk of certain genetic conditions and miscarriage.
What Is PGT?
PGT is a laboratory technique used alongside IVF to test embryos for genetic and chromosomal conditions before they are transferred to the uterus. By selecting a healthy embryo, PGT can improve implantation rates and reduce the likelihood of miscarriage.
Benefits of PGT
- Higher implantation and pregnancy rates per transfer
- Lower risk of miscarriage
- Reduced risk of passing on certain inherited conditions
- Fewer failed cycles by transferring the best embryo first
The Process
- Standard IVF up to the blastocyst stage
- A small biopsy of cells is taken from each embryo
- Genetic analysis is performed in the laboratory
- The healthiest embryo is selected for transfer

PGT-A, PGT-M & PGT-SR
PGT-A (Aneuploidy)
Screens embryos for the correct number of chromosomes, helping select embryos most likely to implant and reduce miscarriage risk.
PGT-M (Monogenic)
Tests for a specific single-gene inherited disorder when one or both parents are known carriers (e.g. thalassemia, cystic fibrosis).
PGT-SR (Structural)
Detects chromosomal structural rearrangements such as translocations that can cause failed implantation or pregnancy loss.
PGT — Common Questions
Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) examines embryos created through IVF for genetic or chromosomal issues before transfer, helping select the healthiest embryo.
PGT is often recommended for advanced maternal age, recurrent miscarriage, repeated IVF failure, known genetic disorders in the family, or a history of chromosomal conditions.
PGT significantly improves the chance of selecting a chromosomally normal embryo but does not guarantee a pregnancy or rule out every possible condition. Your specialist will explain its scope.
A few cells are carefully biopsied from the embryo at the blastocyst stage by skilled embryologists. When performed in an experienced lab, the procedure is considered safe.
