PGS- genetic screening of embryos
What is PGS? Preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) determines the chromosomal status of an embryo by screening all 23 chromosome pairs, providing valuable insights to researchers studying IVF.
PGS refers to removing one or more cells from an in vitro fertilization embryo to test for chromosomal normalcy. PGS screens the embryo for normal chromosome number. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes – for a total of 46.
Ultimately, genetic testing isn't what we'd call necessary, but it's a safe and effective technique for ensuring that you get the most out of your IVF.
This screening procedure has high accuracy because it can distinguish between normal chromosomes and abnormal chromosomes. It is an advanced technology and gives you 97% accurate results.
