PGT-A, what's it for? Considering the increase in fetal aneuploidies with a woman's age and the high number of miscarriages associated with fetal karyotype anomalies, the concept of selecting IVF embryos based on their karyotype in order to transfer only euploid embryos and eliminate aneuploid ones was proposed. Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) was then established, nearly 30 years ago, with the expectation that the transfer of euploid embryos would lead to a significant improvement in medically assisted reproduction (MAR) outcomes. PGT-A, what's wrong? Despite the practice and widespread use, PGT-A has not consistently proven its effectiveness. The clinical value of PGT-A remains controversial. The initial studies reported an increase in MAR outcomes. However, these studies used embryo transfer as the reference point. More recent studies, which use intention-to-treat as the reference point, show, at best, slight improvements and, at worst, a reduction in the considered IVF outcomes. In this article, we attempt to answer two key questions: "What is it for?" and "What's wrong with PGT-A?". We also explore some of the ethical issues raised by these conclusions. Ultimately, we suggest that PGT-A should no longer be offered to infertile couples.
