Since 1995, preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) has been performed in The Netherlands for couples at high risk for transmitting severe or lethal genetic conditions or who have experienced multiple miscarriages due to chromosomal translocations. Approximately 260 children have been born after PGD in The Netherlands. Follow-up data on children born after PGD are scarce. Long-term studies on PGD children have not been conducted in The Netherlands. Results of studies in other countries on 2-year old PGD children are reassuring. These children and their parents have normal scores on relevant parameters such as general health, cognitive and socioemotional development, parent-child interaction and parental stress. Studies of good methodological quality of older children have not yet been published.
