Summary
This is a Proprietary Laboratory Analyses (PLA) code, meaning that the code applies to only one unique lab test made by a specific manufacturer or performed by a specific lab. Report 0552U only for PGT–M from Igenomix®, part of Vitrolife Group™. This test screens embryos for known inherited genetic disorders before implantation. A trophectoderm biopsy is taken (from the outer layer of cells in the embryo), and the test uses linkage analysis to determine if the embryo inherited a region of DNA associated with a disease. When the family has a known mutation, targeted mutation analysis may be performed as well. The result shows if the embryo is low–risk or high–risk for the disorder.
