The Embryo Health Study: Prospective Longitudinal Analysis of PGT-P
Genomic Prediction Inc.
Summary
This study intends to determine the patients' perception and motivation to obtain additional information on their preimplantation embryos' risks of polygenic disorders. Patients undergoing IVF and genetic testing on their embryos for aneuploidies will be given the option to obtain information of their embryos' polygenic disease risk after receiving genetic counseling.
Description
Patients planning to use PGT-A and who meet the inclusion criteria will be offered participation by their IVF physician prior to initiating cycle stimulation. Eligible and interested patients will be contacted, counseled and consented for participation in the study by a Genetic Counselor at Genomic Prediction Clinical Laboratory. This will include genetic counseling to address the benefits and limitations of PGT-A and PGT-P, the family history of diseases currently tested under PGT-P, what diseases they may be interested in testing, the process of obtaining saliva samples, and the information…
