PGT is an elective treatment option that can be used to identify embryos at risk of having a specific genetic or chromosomal condition and is available for patients at all fertility clinics within the Pinnacle network. Igenomix offers the most comprehensive portfolio of infertility treatments for genetics and was the first organization to launch non-invasive PGT-A services. Patients who choose to use PGT as part of their treatment plan receive complementary pre- and post-test genetic counseling to help guide and educate them on their options and results.

"Bringing Igenomix onboard is an exciting opportunity for our patients to seamlessly have access to genetic testing and counseling services, such as PGT at our fertility clinics," shares Dr. Dr. Priya Maseelallfrom Reproductive Gynecology and Infertility "The genetic counselors are perfectly integrated into our programs and champion our patients' success like we do."

Patients electing to use PGT, undergo in vitro fertilization (IVF) to create embryos, and then cells are removed from each embryo for genetic testing. Embryos with normal results are selected to be transferred into the uterus in hopes of achieving a pregnancy and delivering a child without a genetic condition. By utilizing PGT, genetic diseases can be prevented. In addition, studies have shown that PGT can not only improve success rates but also provide optimism and peace of mind during pregnancy and after birth.
