NCT ID NCT07349966
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether taking a small sample from an embryo (blastocyst biopsy) for genetic testing affects a child's growth in the first year of life. Researchers will compare children born after this procedure to those born without it. Parents will fill out a questionnaire about their child's health and growth.
