PG - 341-344 LID - 10.4103/jhrs.JHRS_50_19 [doi] AB - beta-thalassemia is a common single-gene disorder in India, with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) being the only cure. HSCT with matched unrelated donor is less successful, whereas finding a human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched related donor is difficult. Preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic diseases (PGT-M) with HLA matching is a novel option to have a matched sibling for HSCT for couples having an affected child. We present the first such case report in India. A couple, both carriers of beta-thalassemia and having an affected son, underwent PGT-M with HLA matching combined with preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidies of embryos to have a beta - thalassemia-free child. This resulted in birth of a 10/10 HLA-matched sibling. CI - Copyright: (c) 2019 Journal of Human Reproductive Sciences.
