Targeting Specific Conditions

PGT-M & PGT-SR: Targeting Specific Conditionst

September 08, 20261 min read

Beyond screening for general chromosomal health with PGT-A, Preimplantation Genetic Testing also offers specialized options for families at risk of passing on specific genetic conditions: PGT-M and PGT-SR.

PGT-M: Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic Disorders

PGT-M is designed for individuals or couples who are known carriers of a single gene disorder, meaning they carry a gene mutation that could cause a specific genetic disease in their offspring. Examples include cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, Huntington's disease, and spinal muscular atrophy. Before undergoing IVF, the genetic mutation specific to the family is identified and a custom test is developed. During PGT-M, the biopsied embryo cells are analyzed for this particular mutation. This allows for the selection of embryos that are unaffected by the genetic disorder, preventing its inheritance by the child. PGT-M offers a profound opportunity for families to avoid the emotional and medical challenges associated with these inherited conditions.

PGT-SR: Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Structural Rearrangements\

PGT-SR is recommended for individuals who carry a structural chromosomal rearrangement, such as a translocation or inversion. While these individuals may be healthy themselves, these rearrangements can lead to an unbalanced set of chromosomes in their embryos, resulting in recurrent miscarriages, implantation failure, or the birth of a child with severe health problems. PGT-SR analyzes the embryo's chromosomes to identify those with a balanced and normal chromosomal complement, significantly improving the chances of a successful pregnancy and a healthy baby for carriers of such rearrangements.

The choice between PGT-A, PGT-M, and PGT-SR depends entirely on the specific genetic risks identified for the prospective parents. Each type of PGT offers a tailored approach to genetic screening, empowering families with information to make informed decisions on their path to parenthood.

My name is Michelle Aukerman. And I just have to say that Joyce at True Health Acupuncture is probably the best ultrasound technician I have ever had in my life and I’ve been through several. She’s very personal and talks through everything and if something goes wrong, she says OK how do we make this right? What’s the next step we need to take? You don’t hear that from any other ultrasound tech, they're so jaded. The comfort environment at True Health Acupuncture is unmatchable. It does not feel like a doctor's office and everybody is so warm but when it comes to Joyce, she is completely unmatched. It’s like having your own mother right there with you. I highly highly recommend her.

Thank you, the Aukerman’s 


This is the second pregnancy that I came to Joyce for my outside monitoring.  I have been very nervous about the whole process, but  Joyce guided me through each and every ultrasound.  Although the monitoring went smoothly, upon achieving pregnancy I developed some bleeding.  Of course, I panicked.  Joyce explained everything that was going on with my bleeding and helped me through this anxious time.  I don’t know what I would have done without Joyce’s calm demeanor.  And the added bonus is having acupuncture treatment right there at True Health Acupuncture, the office Joyce works out of.  I will always be truly thankful for the amazing experience that I received from both Joyce and True Health to be a part of my fertility journey.

Joyce is an exceptional individual who made a significant impact during my IVF journey. I had the privilege of meeting her when I needed support, and she was able to perform ultrasounds when our IVF Dr was unable to accommodate us. Her ability to confirm our twin pregnancy was incredibly reassuring. Joyce took the time to explain everything she was observing, which not only made the experience more memorable but also helped alleviate my anxiety. Her compassionate approach truly made a difference in my experience.

Starting your cycle

Starting an IVF cycle is stressful enough, doing it with an out-of-state provider just increases that stress. That is why we have developed an out-of state monitoring program to help women that need ultrasound monitoring without having to travel to their provider. We follow your physicians instructions and with be able to accommodate your schedule. Most all cycles, whether retrievals or transfers, will need 2-3 ultrasounds during that cycle. All reports can be faxed or emailed to your physician within 2-3 hours after the exam is finished.
