PGT-M Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic disorders

Prevent the transmission of inherited disorders to future children and achieve a healthy pregnancy

Overview

What are chromosomes and genes?

In a person, each cell contains chromosomes that were inherited from each parent, 23 from the father and 23 from the mother. Therefore, each person has two pairs of 23 chromosomes or 46 total chromosomes.
Chromosomes are comprised of molecules called DNA.
Our DNA is organized into small fragments called genes.
When the function of the gene is altered by a change, called mutation, in the specific sequence, a monogenic disease results.

What is PGT-M test?

PGT-M (formerly PGD) helps significantly decrease the chance of having a child with an inherited genetic disorder by analysing embryos before transfer and identifying those that do not carry the altered, disease-causing gene.

Custom-designed test for every couple
In-depth genetic counselling sessions available at no extra cost
Igenomix understands that each patient and situation is unique. We always aim to adapt our testing to meet your needs.

Is PGT-M for you?

This test is recommended if:

You already have a child affected by a monogenic disease.
You or your partner are carriers or have been diagnosed with one of these diseases or if there is a family history of them

PGT-M is regulated by the HFEA in the UK. If you are working with a clinic in the UK, your clinical team will be able to give you guidance about these regulations and how they may affect you.
