Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT)

PGT is a specialised treatment designed for couples who are at risk of having a child with a specific genetic condition or chromosomal disorder. It involves the use of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) to create embryos and then genetic testing of good quality embryos (by removing a small biopsy sample) to try and identify low risk embryos for transfer back to the womb. This procedure greatly reduces the risk of the child inheriting the disorder.
