Genetic Testing Options Available in Fertility Care

For many patients, genetic testing is one of the most important — and most questioned — parts of the fertility journey. In Episode 4, the conversation focuses on the genetic testing options available in fertility care today, with a particular look at preimplantation genetic testing (PGT).

Drawing on her extensive experience in genomics, Alissa breaks down the science behind PGT, explains what these results can tell us about an embryo, and shares where future genetic testing technologies are headed.

This episode also explores how genetic testing can help guide patients in making informed treatment decisions, and how it fits within the broader fertility care offered at RCC Fertility.
