Despite the methodological flaws that you describe in your critique of the paper, it’s still interesting why a case like mine, with no infertility factor, having had PGD after trophectoderm biopsy for a monogenic disorder, I developed HELLP without any other risk factor for preeclampsia.

Thank you for your comment!  We agree that this study justifies further investigation to see if an association exists between PGT and preeclampsia.

Further studies are clearly needed bit this is an important question and very few studies on this topic investigate outcomes after clinical pregnancy confirmation. I’m looking forward further data!
