The use of preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy: a committee opinion

The use of preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) in the United States has been increasing steadily. Moreover, the underlying technology used for 24-chromosome analysis continues to evolve rapidly. The value of PGT-A as a routine screening test for all patients undergoing in vitro fertilization has not been demonstrated. Although some earlier single-center studies reported higher live-birth rates after PGT-A in favorable-prognosis patients, recent multicenter, randomized control trials in women with available blastocysts concluded that the overall pregnancy outcomes via frozen embryo transfer were similar between PGT-A and conventional in vitro fertilization. The value of PGT-A to lower the risk of clinical miscarriage is also unclear, although these studies have important limitations.
