Key Points

The review aims to explore the connection between hormone pregnancy tests and embryonic malformations, focusing on reactive oxygen species as a potential cause.
Reviewed existing literature on hormone pregnancy tests and teratogenicity.
Analyzed the role of reactive oxygen species in embryonic development and malformations.
Discussed transient hypoxia's link to teratogenic effects.
Identified an association between hormone pregnancy tests and increased risk of embryonic malformations.
Confirmed reactive oxygen species as a likely proximate cause of teratogenicity in cases of recurrent malformations.
Highlighted the influence of transient hypoxia on the development of embryos.

This review demonstrates the connection between teratogenicity and hormone pregnancy tests, suggesting implications for developmental health.

This review shows that HPTs are associated with human teratogenicity and ROS to be the proximate teratogen underlying RCEM.
