Could PGT itself affect the health of the children born after the application of this technique? This is a revision of 14 studies published between 2008 and 2018 in which a total of 1794 PGT children between new-borns to 9 years old were studied and compared to control groups (39,709 TRA and 910.626 naturally conceived children). To our knowledge, PGT itself does not seem to affect negatively the health and development of children. Nevertheless, some of the authors pointed out possible subtle effects on the development of some groups of PGT children that makes a long-term follow up of this population mandatory.
