What Is Pre-implantation Genetic Testing (PGT)?
Pre-implantation Genetic Testing (PGT) is an advanced genetic screening technique used during IVF treatment to evaluate embryos for genetic abnormalities before implantation. This technology helps identify chromosomally normal embryos, improving the chances of successful pregnancy and reducing the risk of genetic disorders. At Queen’s IVF, Pre-implantation Genetic Testing is performed under the clinical guidance of Dr. Priya Shukla (MBBS, MD – Gynae), Founder & Medical Director, using precise laboratory
Pre-implantation Genetic Testing (PGT) is an advanced fertility procedure that screens embryos for chromosomal or genetic abnormalities before transfer. This testing helps improve implantation success, reduce miscarriage risk, and support informed fertility decisions. At Queen’s IVF in Delhi, PGT is performed using state-of-the-art laboratory technologies, expert embryologists, and personalized treatment protocols to ensure safe, accurate, and effective outcomes.

The PGT process begins with standard IVF. Eggs are retrieved from the ovaries and fertilized with sperm in a specialized laboratory. The resulting embryos are cultured under advanced conditions until they reach the blastocyst stage. During this period, embryologists monitor growth and quality to select the healthiest and most viable embryos for testing.
Once embryos reach the blastocyst stage, a few cells are carefully removed for genetic analysis. This biopsy is minimally invasive, precise, and performed without affecting the embryo’s developmental potential. The procedure is conducted by highly experienced embryologists to ensure maximum safety and accuracy.
The biopsied cells are analyzed using advanced genetic testing technologies to detect chromosomal or genetic abnormalities. This process allows embryologists to identify genetically normal embryos, ensuring that only the healthiest embryos are selected for transfer, significantly improving the chances of a successful pregnancy.

During PGT, embryos are usually frozen while genetic testing is performed. Once the results are confirmed, genetically normal embryos are transferred in a planned Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) cycle. The uterine lining is optimized to create the ideal implantation environment, and hormonal support is provided to enhance the chances of pregnancy.

For couples who have undergone multiple IVF cycles without successful implantation, PGT can identify chromosomally normal embryos, improving the chances of a successful pregnancy. By selecting the healthiest embryos for transfer, PGT helps overcome previous fertilization or implantation challenges.
Couples experiencing repeated pregnancy loss may benefit from PGT, as it screens embryos for genetic abnormalities that could lead to miscarriage. Using PGT allows the selection of embryos with the highest implantation potential, reducing emotional and physical stress associated with repeated pregnancy loss.
Women above the age of 35 have an increased risk of chromosomal abnormalities in their embryos. PGT helps detect such issues early, allowing these patients to choose healthy embryos for transfer and increase their chances of a safe and successful pregnancy.
For couples with a family history of inherited genetic conditions, PGT provides the opportunity to screen embryos for specific chromosomal or genetic abnormalities. This ensures only healthy embryos are transferred, reducing the risk of passing genetic disorders to the child.
PGT can enhance overall IVF outcomes by identifying embryos with the best implantation potential. Couples looking to maximize their chances of pregnancy benefit from the increased accuracy and safety that PGT provides, making it a valuable addition to advanced IVF treatment protocols at Queen’s IVF.
