Patient's question:
Doctor, I have a balanced translocation on chromosome 6. My friend said it's possible to do IVF, but I don't know if the success rate for IVF with chromosomal abnormalities is high.Doctor's answer:
Balanced translocations occur in the general population at a rate of 9%. Carriers of balanced translocations usually show no symptoms, but the risk of miscarriage and the birth of malformed offspring is higher in affected individuals. Chromosomal abnormalities cannot be cured, and the only hope is to prevent miscarriage and the inheritance of these issues to the next generation through third-party IVF. The success rate of IVF is influenced by multiple factors, such as sperm and egg quality, the uterine environment of the female, and culture dish technology, among others. It is recommended to consult specifically based on your actual situation.
