About 70% of people discover they are carriers of a genetic condition. While this may not affect their health, it could impact their children's health. When both reproductive partners carry the same condition, there's a 25% chance their child will have that condition.
Approximately 1 in 40 people learn they have an increased chance of having a child with a genetic condition. Learning this information before or early in pregnancy provides several options:
- Use diagnostic testing to determine if a pregnancy is affected
- Access modern IVF technologies to prevent passing on the genetic condition
- Choose natural conception with awareness to prepare for the possibility of a child with a genetic condition
- Consider using donor sperm, eggs, or embryos
