What is the role of Genetics in IVF treatment?

Genetics is at the forefront of IVF treatment. In the USA and Western countries, the links between genetics and reproductive medicine are increasingly merging including testing and treatment options. In the USA, over 50% of patients undergoing IVF treatment undergo Genetic testing. It is no surprise that the USA has the highest pregnancy and live birth rates globally. Genetic Testing of prospective parents (WES, Pre PGT-M, Carrier Screening) can identify existing single gene mutations and help plan testing (PGT-A, PGT-M) to avoid chromosomal and single gene disorders embryos. Patients with recurrent implantation failures and abortions can benefit the most from these tests.
