question text To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Earl Howe on 21 January (HL4011) regarding the challenges facing the National Health Service of tackling obesity, what assessment the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) has made of the impact of findings recently reported in the journal <i>Endocrinology</i> (Volume 155, Issue 11, pages 4554–67); and what data is held by the HFEA that would permit follow-up studies of children conceived via in vitro fertilisation, in order to establish whether or not trends observed in mice are similarly apparent in humans. more like this

answer text <p>The Human Fertilisation and Fertilisation Authority (HFEA) has advised that it has not made an assessment of the impact of findings recently reported in the journal Endocrinology (Volume 155, Issue 11, pages 4554-67). However, the legislative framework allows the HFEA to hold data that can be linked to other databases holding height and weight data (for instance the Clinical Practice Research Datalink). Providing this linkage is performed by researchers at a United Kingdom institution, it would be permissible to carry out follow-up studies of children conceived via in vitro fertilisation, in order to establish whether or not the trend observed in mice is similarly apparent in humans.</p><p> </p> more like this
