For couples planning their families, modern fertility science has opened new possibilities — not just for treating infertility, but also for selecting the healthiest embryos and even choosing the gender of their baby. Two key technologies making this possible are gender selection and PGT (Preimplantation Genetic Testing). These procedures are transforming how people approach assisted reproduction, and one of the most trusted centers offering these services is Superior A.R.T., a world-class IVF clinic based in Thailand.
Whether you're pursuing family balancing, preventing genetic disorders, or increasing your IVF success rate, Superior A.R.T. provides advanced, ethical, and accurate solutions tailored to your fertility goals.
What Is Gender Selectionand PGT?
Gender Selection
Also known as sex selection, allows parents to choose the biological sex of their baby — male or female — before implantation. This process is often part of IVF and is typically achieved through Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT).
Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT)
Involves analyzing embryos at the genetic level before they are transferred to the uterus. There are several types of PGT:
PGT-A (Aneuploidy)
Screens for chromosomal abnormalities like Down syndrome.
PGT-M (Monogenic)
Tests for specific genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis or thalassemia.
PGT-SR (Structural Rearrangements)
Detects chromosomal translocations or inversions.
With PGT-A, clinicians can also identify the sex chromosomes (XX for female, XY for male), allowing for safe and accurate gender selection.
Why Do Couples ChooseGender Selection?
There are several reasons why couples may consider gender selection, including:
Family Balancing
Having a child of the opposite gender after multiple children of the same sex.
Avoiding Sex-Linked Genetic Diseases
Some conditions, like hemophilia or Duchenne muscular dystrophy, are passed down through specific chromosomes.
Personal or Cultural Reasons
In certain cultures or family traditions, there may be a strong preference for a specific gender.
At Superior A.R.T., gender selection is offered ethically and responsibly, always following local and international guidelines.
Frequently AskedQuestions.
What is the difference between PGT-A and PGT-M?
PGT-A screens embryos for chromosomal abnormalities (like Down syndrome), while PGT-M tests for specific single‑gene disorders (like cystic fibrosis). Both are performed before embryo transfer.
Can we choose the gender for family balancing?
Yes. Gender selection for family balancing is one of the most common reasons couples choose PGT. Superior A.R.T. provides this service ethically and with high accuracy.
How long does the PGT process take?
After embryo biopsy, results are typically available in 7–14 days. Your IVF schedule will be adjusted accordingly by our specialists.
