When PGT (formerly known as PGD) is not performed, embryo selection is based on morphological or morphokinetic parameters (if the embryo has been incubated in a time-lapse system).
PGT has the advantage of allowing the embryo to be transferred to the uterus to be selected based on the results of the genetic analysis performed. By transferring only embryos with a favorable result, embryos with genetic abnormalities that could lead to miscarriage or the birth of a baby with a disease are avoided.
