Women aged 35 and older who are undergoing IVF treatment could conceive successfully and give birth to a baby more quickly through the implementation of genetic screening of embryos, according to a recent medical trial in the UK.
The study by researchers at King’s College London university, King’s College Hospital and King’s Fertility has found that “preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy” (PGT-A) – a test that checks embryos for the correct number of chromosomes – appeared to help participants become pregnant in fewer embryo transfers, reports LBC News.
