Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) is a procedure during the IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) process where genetic analysis of embryos is performed. This procedure allows for the detection of genetic diseases and chromosomal abnormalities in embryos. Thus, it increases the chances of pregnancy by selecting and transferring healthy embryos and prevents the transmission of genetic diseases.
Thalassemia, also known as Mediterranean anemia, is one of the most commonly encountered single gene disorders in PGT applications, particularly relevant to our country. In addition to thalassemia, diagnoses of many single gene disorders such as sickle cell anemia, Tay Sachs disease, Fragile X syndrome, and others can be made possible with PGT. Furthermore, with PGT, siblings who are tissue compatible can be created with stem cells taken from bone marrow or umbilical cord blood for transplantation for a sick child in couples who already have an ill child. This way, the couple can both have a healthy child and provide stem cell transplantation for their sick child.
When is PGT Applied?
PGT can be applied for the following conditions:
- Recurrent pregnancy losses
- Repeated IVF failures
- Couples with a family history of genetic diseases
- Advanced maternal or paternal age
