Question
A couple has previously had one child, but the subsequent two pregnancies resulted in fetal growth arrest. The male partner has been diagnosed with a 9th chromosome arm inversion. They inquire about possible treatment methods?
Answer
Male chromosomal abnormalities can lead to fetal growth arrest, miscarriage, or malformations in pregnant women. Currently, there is no cure for chromosomal diseases. If they have a low chance of having a normal child, they can consider using the third-generation in vitro fertilization technique to increase the chances of success.
