Hi all,
My husband & I are going through ivf to start a family. We just got the results of our embryo today & it's affected which means my husband 100% has a mutated SOD1 gene. What's confusing me is that no one in his family has it & no one in his extended family either! How is it possible for him to have it & an embryo but no one previously.
I know his gene is of incomplete penetrance, but really?! No one?!?!
I think I'm also just angry that this test confirmed his diagnosis some more...
