About In-house Reproductive Genetics Center\n\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Genomics is Reproart\u2019s in-house reproductive genetics center, founded in 2020 to bring cutting-edge genetic diagnostics into assisted reproductive technologies in Georgia. The vision behind Genomics was to advance the field of reproductive genetics in Georgia \u2014 for both local and international patients undergoing fertility treatment. Located next to Reproart\u2019s main building in Tbilisi, Genomics allows for seamless coordination between your reproductive endocrinologist, embryologist, and geneticist \u2014 ensuring safe, fast, and fully integrated care.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

PGT-A Testing Performed at Genomics\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

At Reproart, PGT-A (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidies) is performed at Genomics \u2014 our in-house reproductive genetics center, located next to our main building in Tbilisi. This close proximity allows for immediate implant of biopsy samples without external shipping, ensuring a safe, efficient, and tightly coordinated process.<\/p>

PGT-A helps identify embryos with the correct number of chromosomes before implant. Embryos with chromosomal abnormalities may not implant, may result in miscarriage, or may lead to genetic conditions. By testing embryos in advance, PGT-A allows us to select the healthiest ones \u2014 increasing success rates and helping prevent avoidable complications.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

In assisted reproduction, especially when using Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT-A), precise timing is essential. At Reproart, once the embryo biopsy is performed in our embryology lab, the sample is immediately passed to Genomics \u2014 with no need for packaging, shipping, or airport transport.<\/p>

This close proximity ensures:<\/p>

  • No transport-related damage or temperature fluctuations<\/li>
  • No airport security or X-ray exposure<\/li>
  • No risk of lost or delayed shipments<\/li>
  • Faster results and less waiting time<\/li>
  • Direct collaboration between embryologists and geneticists<\/li>
  • Zero technical risk related to external shipping<\/li>
  • Significant time and cost savings for patients<\/li><\/ul>

    \u00a0<\/p>

    By avoiding international transport altogether, your embryos stay safe, your process moves faster, and you avoid unnecessary stress.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    What is PGT-A and When is it Recommended?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidies (PGT-A) helps identify embryos with the correct number of chromosomes before implant \u2014 a key step in improving IVF outcomes. Embryos with chromosomal abnormalities are less likely to implant, may result in miscarriage, or could lead to genetic conditions.<\/p>

    Your doctor may recommend PGT-A if:<\/p>

    • You are over 35 years old<\/li>
    • You\u2019ve had multiple failed IVF cycles or early pregnancy losses<\/li>
    • There is a known sperm issue (severe male factor infertility)<\/li>
    • You want to implant only one embryo and increase the chance of success<\/li>
    • You wish to reduce the risk of chromosomal abnormalities, such as Down syndrome<\/li><\/ul>

      \u00a0<\/p>

      By selecting chromosomally normal embryos, PGT-A improves implant rates, shortens time to pregnancy, and reduces emotional and physical strain throughout the IVF process.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

      PGT-A is performed during an IVF cycle to help identify the embryos with the correct number of chromosomes. Here\u2019s how the process works<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
