I'd like to ask if chromosomal balanced translocation can have children?

Patient's question:

I want to ask if chromosomal balanced translocation can have children. Which hospital is better to go to in Beijing? Baidu says that if you want to have children, you need to find professional doctors in Beijing for comprehensive and detailed examinations.

Doctor's answer:

I'm glad to help clarify this for you. Patients with balanced translocations have difficulty conceiving, and if they do conceive, they are prone to miscarriage. Even if the child is born normally, less than 1/3 are healthy. It is still recommended to consider in vitro fertilization (IVF), as it can prevent miscarriage and allow for embryo screening to select healthy embryos for transfer. You can also try traditional Chinese medicine. The above suggestions are in response to the question "Can someone with a balanced translocation have children?" I hope this is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
