Health Min. reviews possible sperm donor genetic mismatch at Assuta Medical Center, Tel Aviv

The Health Ministry is investigating a potential genetic mismatch involving a sperm donor at Assuta Medical Center in Tel Aviv. This review began after Assuta received an inquiry from a patient who had a private genetic test abroad, raising doubts about the origin of the sperm donation used for her children. Assuta stated, "A short time ago, we received an inquiry from a patient who raised doubts regarding the source of the sperm donation she had selected and from which her child was born." Both the Ministry and Assuta are conducting in-depth investigations, examining the test and the laboratory involved. Assuta is in direct contact with the patient and emphasizes that further testing is required before conclusions can be reached.
