What is PGT-M?
PGT-M is a genetic test used during IVF to detect specific inherited diseases caused by mutations in a single gene. It identifies embryos carrying a specific genetic disorder, distinguishes between affected, carrier, and healthy embryos, and helps transfer only unaffected embryos. Common conditions screened include Thalassemia, Sickle Cell Anemia, Cystic Fibrosis, Muscular Dystrophy, and Tay-Sachs Disease.
