Patient's question:
I have been married to my husband for three years and have always wanted a child, but we haven't been able to get one. The check said that my genes are not compatible with my husband's. I want to ask, if the genes of both husband and wife are not compatible, can they still not get pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Genetic incompatibility refers to the differences in chromosomes between a couple, which is a natural issue. If these genes are incompatible, it is very difficult for the couple to have children. Even if they can produce offspring, the baby may face problems. If the couple's genes are not compatible, the baby may be born with congenital developmental issues, such as muscle atrophy, intellectual disability, or early death due to cerebral palsy, which would be extremely painful. The situation of infertility or subfertility between a couple has nothing to do with genetic incompatibility. Therefore, if there are no reproductive issues between the two of you, it is possible to become pregnant.
