What is Sunfert IVF With PGT-M?
IVF with PGT-M Package combines personalised fertility treatment with advanced reproductive technologies such as Pre-Implantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic Disorder (PGT-M) and Time-Lapse Embryo Imaging, allowing our clinical team to identify embryos that are free from specific inherited genetic disorders before implantation.
This innovative approach provides you and your spouse with a chance to reduce the risk of passing on monogenic disorders, supporting a healthier pregnancy and increasing confidence in your IVF journey.
Who Should Consider Sunfert IVF With PGT-M?
Couples who:
- are carriers of a known genetic disorder
- have a family history of inherited diseases
- have previously had a child affected by a genetic condition
- want to minimise the risk of passing an inherited genetic disorder to their child
Our fertility specialists will review your medical history, fertility health and genetic carrier screening results to determine if IVF with PGT-M is the best option for your family planning.
How Sunfert IVF With PGT-M Can Help?
Personalised Fertility Treatment
- Our specialists carefully evaluate your reproductive health, medical history, and genetic risk factors to create a dedicated fertility treatment plan. This personalised approach optimises your chances of a successful pregnancy while addressing your unique parenthood goals.
Time-Lapse Embryo Imaging
- At Sunfert, we use industry-leading Time-Lapse Embryo Imaging technology, which is known as the EmbryoScope™, to continuously monitor your embryos’ development within a stable incubator environment, minimising disturbance and supporting optimal growth conditions.
- High-resolution images captured at regular intervals provide detailed insights into each embryo’s development, allowing our embryologists to assess both appearance and growth patterns for more accurate selection.
- Combined with AI-supported evaluation tools, this technology enhances precision, reduces subjectivity, and supports more informed decisions in selecting embryos with higher implantation potential.
PGT-M Screening
- Our genetic scientists perform PGT-M using advanced Karyomapping technology to identify embryos affected by specific single gene conditions before transfer. This ensures that only embryos free from targeted inherited disorders such as thalassaemia, cystic fibrosis, or spinal muscular atrophy are selected for implantation.
- By selecting embryos without known genetic disorders, the risk of miscarriage can be reduced, the chances of a healthy pregnancy are improved, and couples undergoing IVF are provided with greater reassurance and peace of mind throughout their fertility journey.
What Is Included in the Sunfert IVF With PGT-M Package?
1. Pre-PGT-M Work-Up

What is Pre-implantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic Disorder (PGT-M) in IVF?
Pre-implantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic Disorder (PGT-M) is an advanced genetic test performed during IVF to detect specific inherited genetic disorders caused by mutations in a single gene.
It allows our fertility specialists to identify embryos that are unaffected before transfer, helping reduce the risk of passing genetic diseases to the baby.
What is Sunfert IVF with PGT-M Package?
IVF with PGT-M is a fertility treatment that combines In-vitro Fertilisation (IVF) with Pre-Implantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic Disorders (PGT-M).
It allows embryos to be tested for specific inherited genetic conditions before transfer.
This helps select embryos free from targeted disorders, supporting healthier pregnancy outcomes and reducing the risk of passing on genetic diseases.
Who should consider Sunfert IVF with PGT-M Package?
IVF with PGT-M is recommended for couples who:
- are carriers of known genetic disorders
- have a family history of inherited diseases
- have previously had a child affected by a genetic condition
- wish to reduce the risk of passing on monogenic disorders.
Our fertility specialist will assess medical and genetic history to determine suitability.
What genetic disorders can PGT-M detect?
PGT-M can screen for many inherited single-gene disorders, including:
- Thalassaemia (common in Malaysia and Asia)
- Cystic Fibrosis
- Huntington’s disease
- Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA)
- Certain metabolic and neurological genetic conditions
Can PGT-M help reduce miscarriage risk?
Yes, in some cases. By selecting embryos that are free from specific genetic disorders, PGT-M may lower the risk of miscarriage associated with inherited conditions, supporting a healthier pregnancy outcome.
Does PGT-M improve IVF success rates?
PGT-M does not directly increase implantation rates, but it improves the likelihood of transferring embryos that are free from specific genetic disorders.
This contributes to better pregnancy outcomes and reduces the risk of inherited disease.
Can PGT-M prevent genetic diseases completely?
PGT-M significantly reduces the risk of passing specific inherited genetic disorders by selecting unaffected embryos.
However, it does not guarantee a completely disease-free baby, as it targets only specific known gene mutations.
How long does the PGT-M process take?
The timeline varies depending on the complexity of the genetic condition. Typically:
- Genetic preparation and probe development may take several weeks
- IVF cycle and embryo testing follow afterwards
Your fertility specialist will provide a personalised timeline based on your case.
What is karyomapping and why is it used in PGT-M?
Karyomapping is a sophisticated genetic testing technique that tracks the inheritance of DNA segments from both parents.
It helps identify whether an embryo has inherited a specific gene mutation.
This method improves the accuracy of detecting monogenic disorders and supports safer embryo selection.
When should I speak to a fertility specialist about PGT-M?
You should consult a fertility specialist if you:
- know you or your partner carries a genetic condition
- have a family history of inherited disorders
- have experienced previous genetic-related pregnancy loss
- wish to explore safer IVF options
At Sunfert, our fertility specialists can help determine whether PGT-M is suitable for your situation. Transparency and honesty are core to our values.
We ensure that any additional procedures are recommended only when there is clear clinical benefit, so patients do not undergo or incur costs for treatments that are not necessary for their fertility journey.
Is PGT-M necessary for all IVF patients?
No. PGT-M is not required for every IVF patient. It is mainly advised for couples with a known risk of passing on specific genetic disorders. Our fertility specialist will recommend PGT-M based on medical history, genetic screening results, and individual circumstances.
If you are unsure whether you or your partner are carriers of certain genetic conditions, you may consider undergoing an Expanded Carrier Screening (ECS) blood test for further assessment.
Is embryo biopsy safe during PGT-M?
Embryo biopsy is a highly specialised procedure performed at the blastocyst stage.
At Sunfert, this procedure are conducted by highly experienced and well-trained embryologists and genetic scientists using established protocols, hence we can assure our patients it is safe and would not affect the embryo development.
