Background for anyone weighing up genetic testing before or during treatment.

Testing embryos screens for specific findings only. It cannot rule out every genetic or chromosomal condition, does not guarantee a pregnancy, and does not replace prenatal screening decisions later on. Genetic counselling helps you decide what is useful in your situation.

Key takeaways

  • Carrier screening, PGT-M, PGT-SR and PGT-A answer different questions.
  • Results are reported as euploid, aneuploid or mosaic where embryos are tested.
  • Genetic counselling supports informed choices about testing.
