The use of preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A): a committee opinion

Fertil Steril. 2018 Mar;109(3):429-436. doi: 10.1016/j.fertnstert.2018.01.002.

Abstract

The value of preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) as a screening test for in vitro fertilization (IVF) patients has yet to be determined. Several studies demonstrate higher birth rates after aneuploidy testing and elective single-embryo transfer (eSET), suggesting the potential for this testing to decrease the risk of multiple gestations, though these studies have important limitations.
