Biopsy effects on children born after genetic testing
This study compares children born after preimplantation genetic testing with a small biopsy of the embryo to those born without such testing. It aims to see if the biopsy affects a child's health and development during their first year of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be at least 1 year old at the time of the study.
- Your child should not have any major health problems affecting growth.
- You must be willing to give informed consent for the study.
- You were between 18 and 43 years old when you became pregnant.
- You gave birth to a single baby (not twins or more) from a single pregnancy sac.
- You had a frozen embryo transfer (FET) and, for cases, also had preimplantation genetic testing (PGT).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether an artificial intelligence model can accurately predict if an embryo has the right number of chromosomes using only images, instead of needing a biopsy. If successful, this could allow more patients to avoid the risks and costs of invasive genetic testing.
This study looks at embryo health using a DNA test called PGT-A for couples having IVF. It may help researchers better understand what the test can and cannot tell about which embryos are healthiest.
This trial is for women aged 35–40 doing IVF. It compares genetic testing of embryos before transfer to standard care, to see if it improves pregnancy success.
This study tests an upgraded method to screen embryos for genetic abnormalities before implantation during fertility treatment. It may help couples with age-related fertility concerns, repeated implantation failures, recurrent miscarriages, or male factor infertility achieve successful pregnancy.
This trial follows up with people who chose to participate in research when getting preimplantation genetic testing (testing genes in embryos). It may help researchers understand outcomes and improve future genetic testing and counseling.
This study examines genetic material from miscarriages to understand why early pregnancy loss happens. Researchers analyze a blood sample taken right after miscarriage to look for clues that might help explain what went wrong and potentially prevent future losses.
