Progenesis is a biotechnology research company based in La Jolla, California, that provides embryo screening services for IVF. The firm uses next-generation sequencing to perform preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy across all chromosomes and for single-gene disorders, enabling detection of conditions that can affect embryo viability or disease risk. It was the first in the US to introduce NGS-based PGT-A and PGT-M. The services are aimed at IVF clinics and fertility specialists seeking genetic information to inform embryo selection and reduce transmission of inherited diseases. In addition to chromosomal screening, Progenesis offers tests for diseases such as cystic fibrosis, Fragile X syndrome, sickle cell disease, and Tay-Sachs. A recent development is the December 2023 launch of an online medical portal for Preimplantation Genetic Testing, which streamlines the testing process.
