Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) for known familial monogenetic disease (PGT-M) or structural chromosomal rearrangements (PGT-SR) has evolved into a well-established alternative to prenatal diagnosis. PGT significantly reduces the risk of a pregnancy with an affected foetus. Screening for aneuploidy (PGT-A) used as an add-on to standard IVF treatment of infertile couples is widely used internationally, although its benefit is highly debated. PGT combines genetic counselling and testing with assisted reproductive technology including ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, and embryo biopsy, as discussed in this review.
