A genetic test that checks whether your embryo has the right number of chromosomes before transfer — helping guide which embryo gives you the best chance of a healthy pregnancy. Available at our KK Nagar and Mylapore clinics in Chennai.

PGT-A (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy) at Kanaa Fertility checks whether your embryo has a normal number of chromosomes (euploid) before transfer — helping identify embryos with the best chance of a healthy pregnancy. Two clinics in KK Nagar & Mylapore, with in-person & online consultations.
Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy.
Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy refers to a process in which a few cells from the trophectoderm of the blastocyst are biopsied and sent for genetic analysis.
This identifies whether the embryo is genetically normal (euploid) or genetically abnormal (aneuploid).
Checks chromosome number, not the embryo's full genetic makeup.
Testing happens once your embryo has grown to day 5, the same stage used in blastocyst culture.
Helps your embryology team identify which embryo may have the best chance of success.
Chromosomal abnormalities become more common with age.
When embryo transfers haven't succeeded despite good-quality embryos.
When pregnancies have been lost more than once.
This is tested through a related but different test called PGT-M, not PGT-A.
PGT-A is performed as part of your IVF or ICSI cycle, once your embryo reaches the blastocyst stage. Added cost to be confirmed by the clinic.
If specific inherited gene disorders run in your family, a related test called PGT-M may be more appropriate — ask your specialist which is right for you.

Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy refers to a process in which a few cells from the trophectoderm of the blastocyst are biopsied and sent for genetic analysis.
This identifies whether the embryo is genetically normal (euploid) or genetically abnormal (aneuploid).
It's the condition where more than one type of cell is present in the same embryo — both euploid and aneuploid cells. Because of this, there's a chance of a false positive or false negative result, depending on which cells were taken during the biopsy.
Mainly older age couples, those with recurrent implantation failure, or recurrent pregnancy loss. Testing for specific gene disorders that run in the family is a related but different test, called PGT-M.

This will identify if the embryo is genetically normal (euploid) or genetically abnormal(aneuploid)
The embryo is formed by the process of IVF or ICSI as usual and allowed to grow till day 5
Then a few cells (about 5-10)are removed by use of laser and sent for genetic analysis
It is the condition where more than one type of cells are present in the same embryo-that is both euploid and aneuploid cells
Hence there maybe the chance for false positive or false negative results depending on which cells were taken in the biopsy
