Genetic Testing Mexico
At Instituto Mexicano de Infertilidad (IMI), your journey to parenthood is supported by the latest breakthroughs in reproductive genetics. Our genetic testing (PGT) programs help identify chromosomally normal embryos and reduce risks of miscarriage, failed implantation, and inherited diseases—giving every family the best chance for a healthy baby.
Using next-generation sequencing (NGS) and microarray technology, IMI’s lab team performs Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT-A, PGT-M, and PGT-SR) on embryos created through IVF to ensure the safest and most successful outcomes for patients worldwide.
Benefits of Genetic Testing
- 🧬 Higher IVF success rates – transfers focus on healthy embryos only.
- 💛 Reduced miscarriage risk – eliminates embryos with genetic issues.
- 👶 Healthier pregnancies – prevents many chromosomal disorders.
- 💸 Cost savings – fewer failed transfers and repeated cycles.
- 🌎 Confidence for international patients – transparent genetic reports.
Advanced Embryo Screening for Healthier Pregnancies
What Is Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT)?
PGT is a form of advanced embryo analysis performed during IVF before embryo transfer. It identifies chromosomal or genetic abnormalities in embryos, allowing specialists to select only the healthiest for transfer.
Types of PGT performed at IMI:
Type | Purpose | Detects | Ideal For |
PGT-A | Aneuploidy screening | Abnormal chromosome counts | Women over 35, recurrent IVF failure, miscarriage history |
PGT-M | Monogenic disease testing | Single-gene disorders (e.g., cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy) | Couples with known genetic conditions |
PGT-SR | Structural rearrangement | Translocations, deletions, inversions | Patients with abnormal karyotypes |
Each method enhances embryo selection accuracy, improves implantation rates, and significantly lowers miscarriage risk.

Why Choose IMI Mexico
IMI Mexico combines world-class fertility expertise, advanced reproductive technology, transparent and compassionate care, and proven success in complex cases — all within a modern, internationally trusted clinic in Guadalajara.
PGT-A for Family Balancing
In addition to medical uses, PGT-A can identify the embryo’s sex chromosomes (XX or XY). Families pursuing gender selection or family balancing benefit from the same testing accuracy that ensures chromosomal health.
PGT can be combined with any IVF cycle at IMI, including:
- IVF Over 40
- Egg Donation
- Tandem IVF
- Mini IVF
- IVF with Donor Sperm

- Couples with recurrent pregnancy loss.
- Patients with two or more failed IVF cycles.
- Carriers of genetic diseases (PGT-M).
- Individuals with chromosomal translocations (PGT-SR).
- Families pursuing donor egg or sperm cycles.
Genetic Testing Costs in Mexico
Test | Average Cost (USD) |
PGT-A (per embryo) | $250 – $350 |
PGT-M / PGT-SR (per case) | $1 500 – $2 500 |
