PGT-SR

Testing embryos where a parent carries a chromosome rearrangement.

Genetics

Where one partner carries a balanced translocation or inversion, many embryos inherit an unbalanced set. PGT-SR identifies embryos with a balanced or normal arrangement, which can reduce miscarriage, though it may leave few embryos available.

Also known as: structural rearrangement testing, translocation PGT
