Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT-A)
Information for selected cases — never a guarantee.
Dr. Vijaya ReddyMedically reviewed · 1 June 2026In short
What is Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT-A)?
PGT-A screens IVF embryos for the correct number of chromosomes before transfer. It can be valuable in specific situations — such as recurrent loss or older maternal age — but it is recommended selectively and never presented as a promise of success.
When it can help
- Recurrent pregnancy loss
- Older maternal age
- Repeated implantation failure
What PGT-A can and can't do
PGT-A gives information about chromosomal status that can guide which embryo to transfer. It is used on indication and is one input among several — it does not guarantee a pregnancy.
Questions people ask
