If you have questions, just give us a shout! Our TFP Oxford Fertility Clinic is a trusted provider for NHS England, offering pre-implantation genetic testing (PGT) for those dealing with genetic conditions or chromosomal rearrangements, also known as PGT-M and PGT-SR. This procedure helps determine if embryos carry certain genetic conditions before making decisions on which embryos to implant.
What is PGT?
Sometimes, individuals may have genetic variations that can lead to conditions in themselves or their offspring. PGT for monogenic diseases (PGT-M) involves extracting a few cells—typically between five to ten—from an embryo to test for specific genetic conditions. Most of the time, patients are referred to us via their local fertility clinics or NHS genetic services when considering IVF with PGT-M.
In other cases, patients might have chromosomal rearrangements (like translocations). PGT for structural rearrangements (PGT-SR) enables us to check if embryos have any unbalanced chromosomal arrangements that could result in miscarriages or failed IVF attempts.
