Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic/Single Gene Defects (PGT-M) is a specialized technique that is offered at 9M Fertility to help couples who are carriers of a specific genetic disease or who have a family history of a genetic condition.
PGT-M involves the biopsy of a few cells from an embryo before it is implanted in the uterus. These cells are then analyzed to determine if the embryo has inherited the genetic mutation associated with the disease in question. Embryos without the genetic mutation can be selected for transfer, which can reduce the risk of passing on the genetic disease to the offspring.
At 9M Gachibowli, our experienced fertility specialists work closely with our genetic counselors to offer personalized genetic testing services to our patients. We use state-of-the-art technology and the latest techniques to ensure the highest possible success rates for our patients.
If you are a carrier of a specific genetic disease or have a family history of a genetic condition, we are here to help. Contact us today to learn more about PGT-M and the other fertility services we offer.
