What you'll learn
We cover the benefits of PGT-A and their magnitude. We dissect the subject of mosaicism and how it helps to construct a hierarchy of which embryos to transfer. We train patients to ask the relevant questions of their clinic, clinic’s laboratory, and reference laboratory before signing on to do PGT-A. Finally, we address the risk around damage during biopsy, how often useful embryos are being discarded, and how the investment in PGT-A looks for women of different ages.
