what
Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Histocompatibility (PGT-HLA) is a specialized technique used to evaluate embryos for compatibility with an existing patient, typically when a sibling is in need of a tissue or organ transplant. This testing identifies specific genetic markers that ensure the selected embryo can provide the necessary donor match for the affected sibling. By selecting embryos that are histocompatible, PGT-HLA enhances the chances of a successful transplantation while also promoting a healthy pregnancy for the parents.
how
For PGT-HLA few cells are carefully biopsied from an embryo at the blastocyst stage (day 5 or 6). These cells are then analyzed for chromosomal abnormalities. Only embryos with the correct number of chromosomes are selected for transfer to the uterus, improving the chances of a healthy pregnancy.
