What is Pre–Implantation Genetic Screening?

Pre–Implantation Genetic Screening (PGS) is a laboratory technique used during IVF to examine embryos for chromosomal abnormalities before implantation. This ensures that only genetically healthy embryos are transferred to the uterus.

It is especially helpful for couples with recurrent IVF failures, miscarriages, or advanced maternal age.
