About

Assisted reproductive technology (ART) provides an opportunity for couples suffering infertility to obtain a baby. However, with the increasing occurrence of complications on infertile women in the ART process, there is a corresponding interest in the safety of ART on women. Meanwhile, the effect of ART on offspring health remains elusive. In recent years, studies on the safety of ART have been reported. Although most studies consider ART is safe for women and their offspring, there are some worrying results. Accordingly, it is important to have more investigations to explore the potential risk of ART on women and offspring.

This Research Topic aims to provide insight into the potential risk of ART on women undergoing IVF, focusing on the COS and laboratory technology-related complications in the ART process and perinatal outcomes; This Research Topic aims to explore the effect of ART on offspring safety, including the genetics and epigenetics safety, metabolic diseases and cognitive competence.

A Research Topic on “ART safety: Mother and Baby” had the bullet points as below:
1) COS-related complications and perinatal outcomes;
2) IVF laboratory technology-related complications and perinatal outcomes;
3) The safety of offspring genetics and epigenetics;
4) The effect of ART on offspring metabolic diseases and cognitive competence, etc.
