Genetic disorders are conditions caused by abnormalities in a person’s DNA that often arise when both parents carry a mutation in the same gene. While many people carry genes linked to certain disorders without experiencing symptoms, these genes can be passed on to their children. Dr Justin Chu, TFP Oxford Fertility Medical Director, underlines the importance of genetic screening, the available tests, and how fertility treatments like IVF can manage genetic risks.
