What really is PGT-A?
Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) is simultaneous testing of the entire set of chromosomes of an embryo on the day 5 of development by NGS method (Next generation sequencing) before the embryo is transferred into the uterus. PGT-A makes it possible to choose the best and most viable genetically competent embryos, thus effectively increasing the rate of implantation, clinical pregnancy and successful birth.
Genetic Laboratory of the Centre for Reproductive Genetics of iVF Riga Clinic carries out missed abortion material genetic testing basing on a complex analysis of all fetal chromosomes using aCGH method (array Comparative Genomic Hybridization). With the help of this testing may identify unbalanced chromosomal changes in 1-22 pairs of autosomes and in the X, Y sex chromosomes and get a clear answer to the question, whether the cause of an interrupted pregnancy are fetal chromosomal abnormalities.
