PGT in Fes

Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) in FesTesting embryos before transfer, as part of IVF

Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) analyses a few cells from an embryo created by IVF with ICSI before it is transferred to the uterus. It is mainly for couples with a known risk of a genetic disease or chromosomal abnormality. At the Boudra Fertility Center in Fes, Dr Najib Boudra assesses with you whether this approach is suitable.

How it works

What is preimplantation genetic testing?

PGT takes place during IVF. The eggs are fertilized by ICSI and the embryos are grown for a few days in the laboratory. A few cells are then taken from each embryo and analysed by a genetics laboratory.

Only embryos whose analysis does not show the abnormality being tested for are offered for transfer. Other healthy embryos can be frozen. PGT looks for a specific abnormality: it does not rule out every disease.

Who it is for

Which couples may consider PGT?

PGT always requires a medical indication, for example:

a known risk of passing on a serious genetic disease
a known chromosomal abnormality in one of the parents
repeated miscarriages linked to a chromosomal abnormality
a family genetic assessment that justifies it

Step by step

What does a treatment with PGT involve?

Consultation and genetic counselling

Dr Boudra reviews your file; a geneticist specifies the abnormality to test for.

IVF with ICSI

Ovarian stimulation, egg collection and fertilization in the laboratory.

Embryo biopsy

A few cells are taken from the embryo, usually at the blastocyst stage.

Analysis and transfer

Depending on the results, an embryo is transferred, often in a later cycle after freezing.

Your care

A decision made together

PGT requires a full IVF cycle and time for the analysis. Dr Najib Boudra explains what the test can and cannot detect, its limits and the alternatives, so that you can decide with full information.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions about preimplantation genetic testing

Is PGT offered to every IVF couple?

No. It meets a specific medical indication, usually a known risk of genetic disease or a chromosomal abnormality in one of the parents.

Does taking cells harm the embryo?

The biopsy is done by experienced embryologists on only a few cells. Dr Boudra explains the benefits and limits of this step before any decision.

Does PGT guarantee a healthy baby?

No. It looks for a specific abnormality. Usual pregnancy care, with its scans and tests, is still needed.

Is IVF always required?

Yes. PGT can only be done on embryos created in the laboratory by IVF with ICSI.
