What happens if a genetic compatibility test reveals risks for certain genetic disorders?

If a genetic compatibility test reveals that a couple has an increased risk of having a child with a genetic disorder, there are several options to consider:

  • Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT): If the couple is pursuing IVF, PGT can help screen embryos and select those without the genetic condition of concern.
  • Donor Gametes: The couple may consider using donor eggs or sperm to reduce the risk of passing on the genetic disorder.
  • Adoption
  • Acceptance of Risk: In some cases, couples may choose to accept the risk and go with natural conception or IVF without PGT.
