About this Talk
This talk will discuss the benefits and importance of Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy (PGT-A), which allows physicians and embryologists to count the number of chromosomes in the embryo biopsy. PGT-A analysis helps to identify any embryos affected with genetic abnormalities (ie. too many or too few chromosomes, or structural defects). Dr. Grifo has pioneered techniques in preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) and preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) and in 1992, he performed the first embryo biopsy that resulted in a live birth in the United States.
