At Oasis Fertility Centre, we believe every family deserves the chance to make confident, informed decisions. By offering advanced technologies like PGT, we help reduce the risk of genetic conditions and support healthier beginnings.
Preimplantation Genetic Testing is performed during IVF to screen embryos for known genetic conditions or chromosomal variations before they are transferred to the uterus. Chromosomes are tiny structures inside our cells that carry genetic information, determining traits and helping our bodies function properly.
Embryos with abnormal chromosome numbers often lead to failed implantation, miscarriages, or birth defects. PGT helps by:
You may be referred for IVF with PGT by your fertility specialist or clinical geneticist.
There are different types of PGT:
Used when one or both intended genetic parents are carriers or affected by a known genetic condition associated with a single gene mutation (e.g Cystic Fibrosis or Huntington’s Disease). The Reproductive Technology Council (RTC) maintains an Approved Conditions List for PGT-M. If your condition isn’t listed, Oasis will assist with the RTC application process.
Recommended for patients with an abnormal karyotype involving chromosome structure changes. Translocations or rearrangements causing recurrent pregnancy loss or developmental defects are automatically approved. For duplications, microdeletions, insertions, or inversions with uncertain significance, an RTC application is required and we’ll guide you through this.
PGT-A is used to check for aneuploidy which is an abnormal number of chromosomes in an embryo. This can lead to implantation failure, miscarriage, or certain genetic conditions. Your fertility specialist may recommend PGT-A if you:
If these criteria aren’t met, Oasis will prepare and submit the necessary RTC application, including supporting letters from genetic specialists.
