Since PGT was introduced in assisted reproductive technology (ART), it has become a routine method for examining embryo aneuploidy and genetic disorders in embryos, worldwide. Recently, in the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE), expression pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) and pre-implantation genetic screening (PGS) were abbreviated as PGT; PGT was further subdivided into PGT-M (for monogenic disorder); PGT-SR (structural rearrangements), which causes miscarriage; and PGT-A (aneuploidy screening). Globally, PGT-A and PGT-SR are indicated for translocation carriers and women of advanced maternal age to improve pregnancy rates and reduce miscarriage rates. This year, clinical research for PGT-A in Japan began in earnest. The present manuscript discusses the history of PGT, its present status, and its future prospects.
