What Is Swyer Syndrome?
Siblings (and sometimes only one of them) born to a couple (mother and father) with single gene disorders are in danger of inheriting two copies of that gene. This is known as ‘recessive inheritance’. Two copies of the same defective genes means that they become more than just carriers for the genetic defect, meaning they are affected by it and are usually severely affected. Such children have what is called ‘compound heterozygous’ disease. It is strange that this happens before fertility treatments, because couples who undergo such treatments will most likely be genetically tested together and will probably not pass on their defective genes to any offspring since these are caused by recessive inheritance patterns, which requires both parents to be carrying these genes unlinked.
