How Does PGT Help With Cystic Fibrosis Family Planning Decisions? - Cystic Fibrosis Health Hub
How Does PGT Help With Cystic Fibrosis Family Planning Decisions? Are you curious about how genetic testing can influence family planning decisions for cystic fibrosis? In this informative video, we'll explain everything you need to know about Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic Disorders (PGT-M) and its role in reproductive choices. We'll start by defining what PGT-M is and how it works alongside in vitro fertilization (IVF) to screen embryos for specific genetic mutations, particularly in the CFTR gene that causes cystic fibrosis. We'll discuss how this testing helps identify embryos without disease-causing mutations, allowing couples to select healthy embryos for transfer. The video will cover the benefits of PGT-M, especially for couples where both partners are carriers or one partner has cystic fibrosis, by reducing the risk of passing on the condition. We’ll also explain the importance of genetic counseling and carrier screening, which help families understand their risks and explore options like IVF with PGT-M or prenatal testing. Additionally, we'll share insights into how understanding specific genetic variants can influence testing outcomes and family planning choices. Whether you're considering family-building options or simply want to learn more about genetic testing for cystic fibrosis, this video provides essential information.
