Good laboratory practice for PGT-M: Turkish Society of Reproductive Medicine guidelines.

This guideline was prepared by the Turkish Society of Reproductive Medicine to define the conditions and requirements for an outsourced preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) programme in line with the experience and needs of practitioners. This guideline is intended to be a reference document for assisted reproductive technology centres, genetic diagnosis centres, non-governmental organizations working on reproductive health, legal experts, consultants working on laboratory accreditation, academicians specializing in ethical issues, and policy makers. The Consortium aims to provide recommendations addressing the challenges of genetic testing, especially PGT for monogenic diseases (PGT-M) due to the high rate of consanguineous marriage in Turkey. For this purpose, this summary document specifically includes challenges and recommendations regarding PGT-M practice, and aims to identify and aid in prevention of errors leading to misdiagnosis. The recommendations can be modified to fit other locations.
