The seventh report of the ESHRE PGD Consortium is presented documenting cycles collected for the calendar year 2004 and follow-up of the pregnancies and babies born subsequent to these cycles up to October 2005. Since the beginning of the data collections, there has been a steady increase in the number of cycles, pregnancies and babies reported. For data collection VII, 45 centres have participated, reporting on 3358 cycles to oocyte retrieval (OR), 679 pregnancies and 528 babies born. Five hundred and fifty nine OR were reported for chromosomal abnormalities, 113 OR for sexing for X-linked diseases, 520 OR for monogenic diseases, 2087 OR for PGS, and 79 OR for social sexing. Data VII is compared with the cumulative data for data collections I-VI.
