The Role of Genetic Testing (PGT-A & PGT-M) in Surrogacy

Every embryo has incredible potential, but not all embryos are chromosomally healthy. Genetic testing helps intended parents select embryos most likely to result in healthy, full-term pregnancies, reducing emotional stress and financial risk.

At Surrogacy4All, we integrate PGT-A and PGT-M into our IVF and surrogacy programs to maximize success rates and minimize the chance of genetic disorders.

What are PGT-A and PGT-M?

Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) evaluates embryos before transfer:

• PGT-A (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy):
  Screens embryos for chromosomal abnormalities, ensuring only healthy embryos are selected. 
• PGT-M (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic Disorders):
  Detects single-gene disorders, such as cystic fibrosis, Tay-Sachs, or BRCA mutations, to prevent hereditary diseases.

By combining PGT-A and PGT-M, intended parents can make smarter, safer decisions about embryo selection.

Benefits for Intended Parents

• Higher Implantation Rate : Up to 70% success per transfer
  
• Lower Miscarriage Rate : Reduces early pregnancy loss due to chromosomal abnormalities
  
• Reduced Risk of Genetic Disease : Ensures healthier babies and peace of mind
  
• Optimized Embryo Selection : Ideal for surrogacy cycles where every transfer matters

These benefits make PGT testing a standard of care for families pursuing IVF or surrogacy.

Step-by-Step Process

• Embryo Biopsy on Day 5–6 : A few cells are safely removed from the blastocyst.
• DNA Analysis via NGS Sequencing :  Next-generation sequencing evaluates chromosomal integrity and genetic mutations.
• Report Delivered Within 7 Days : Clear, actionable results for embryo selection.
• Healthy Embryo Selection : Choose embryos for transfer or freezing, ensuring the best chance for pregnancy 

Case Study

“Our family carries a BRCA mutation. With PGT-M, we ensured our baby would be free of it. It gave us peace of mind money can’t buy.”
— Rita & Josh, Chicago
