The Role of Pre-Implantation Genetic Testing (PGT-A) in Preventing Recurrent Miscarriages
Dr. Heena Agrawal•July 22, 2026•7 min read
Over 60% of early first-trimester pregnancy losses are caused by sporadic aneuploidies (extra or missing chromosomes).
PGT-A biopsies a small cluster of cells from the outer trophectoderm layer without disturbing the inner cell mass that develops into the baby.
By confirming euploidy before transfer, couples avoid the emotional trauma of failed cycles and recurrent miscarriages.
