Hi, I am 29 years old and I have a dilemma. My father is suffering from HD and due the fact and I am a 50% possible carrier of defected gene, I wonder if fertilization may be a successful way of getting health child. Do I have chance with girl to have a normal, non-potential sufferer for child?

Most carriers of the HD gene if they know of their status do face and, consequently very negative predictable futures. It will be appropriate for them to consider extraordinary measures employing reproductive technologies to extract health pair of gene for your IVF. If their carrier status is known before marriage, it is appropriate to seek other individuals with who neither will have a reproductive disease.
