Who can benefit from PGT-M and PGT-SR?
- Couples who are at higher than usual risk of having offspring with some genetic disorder, e.g. cystic fibrosis, hemophilia, Huntington’s disease, Fragile X, myotonic dystrophy, thalassemia, Tay Sachs disease, etc.
- Couples who are at higher than usual risk of having offspring with chromosomal abnormalities. This type of PGT is termed preimplantation genetic diagnosis for chromosomal structural arrangement (PGT-SR).
- Couples with an offspring with genetic diseases that can be treated by bone marrow transplant from another sibling with specific tissue type matching called HLA matching.
- Couples who have a prior history of repeated miscarriages and would like to reduce their risk of having another miscarriage in their future pregnancies.
