| Updates - Family Medical History | UPDATE Feb 2026: Donor placed in investigation due to child with possible syndrome. More information will be added when available. No genetic testing has been conducted at this point nor has a definitive causative link to this donor been established. Over 10 other babies have been born with the help of this donor with no concerning medical reports. UPDATE May 2026: Regarding the update from Feb 2026, the donor-conceived pregnancy was found to have kidney concerns and increased head growth during pregnancy. Delivery was by cesarean section and was complicated by severe maternal pre-eclampsia, requiring an extended hospital stay after delivery. The infant required care in the NICU due to breathing difficulties and low blood sugar levels. Additional findings included jaundice, abnormal blood test results, and mildly elevated liver enzymes. Parents also reported feeding difficulties, decreased crying, limited social interaction, and reduced responsiveness early in infancy. Further diagnoses include tracheomalacia and acrocyanosis, ongoing swelling of one kidney, below average growth, and increasing head size. Per the client, a clinical genetics evaluation did not identify an immediate need for genetic testing, and follow-up is planned in one year. As a specific cause/diagnosis has not been made to explain the medical issues this child exhibits, a chance for occurrence in other donor conceived children remains unknown. Without knowing the underlying cause for this child’s condition, genetic testing options to assess the occurrence of this condition in other embryos, pregnancies, or children cannot be provided. Over 10 other births have been reported for this donor; no other children conceived with the help of this donor have similar medical updates. UPDATE May 2026: Fairfax was notified that second child conceived with this donor was born with tongue and lip ties. No additional health concerns were reported for this child. Tongue and lip ties, otherwise known as tethered oral tissues (TOTs), are bands of tissues that can restrict the movement of the tongue and lips. When necessary, a frenectomy is used to correct these conditions. This is a quick and minimally invasive oral surgical procedure to remove excess tissue. The underlying cause of TOTs is unknown, though many primary causes and factors can increase the chance of occurrence. TOTs may run in families, suggesting a possible genetic link, and in some cases could be related to how much space a baby has in the womb during development. TOTs can be an isolated finding, meaning that they are the only health concern a child has, or can sometimes be associated with a genetic condition. Without knowing the underlying cause, a chance for occurrence in other donor conceived children remains unknown. UPDATE May 2026: Fairfax was notified that a third client’s baby had a history of feeding and breathing issues that have since improved. The baby was noted to have a recessed chin, which may be the cause of his issues, and low muscle tone in his head, neck, and torso. Unspecified genetic testing was conducted on 5.23.2026. TAT is expected in ~2 weeks though no clinical genetic evaluation was conducted. The baby is scheduled to have a sleep study and possibly meet with an oral maxillary team. The client was asked to confirm what genetic testing was conducted and to send results when available. UPDATE June 2026: Fairfax was notified that a fourth child conceived with the help of this donor has multiple congenital anomalies including but not limited to bowed legs, hydrocephalus with a Chiari 3 malformation and spina bifida. The client reported that unspecified genetic testing was conducted. Results have been requested for review by our Genetic Team though have not yet been shared. No further information is available at this time. UPDATE June 2026: Fairfax was notified that a fifth client's pregnancy was diagnosed with severe ventriculomegaly at 20 weeks. Per the client, various genetic tests have been conducted with no underlying genetic etiology determined. The pregnancy is otherwise reportedly healthy. Fairfax has requested that the genetic test results from this child be sent over for our review. These results have not yet been shared with us. UPDATE June 2026: Fairfax has received an update on the first child reported to have medical issues in Feb 2026. Per the client, her son is doing an amazing job crawling around and pulling himself up. Swelling of both kidneys has reduced; downgraded to pyelectasis on the left and normal on the right. He is still followed by endocrinology for a slightly high TSH level but his glucose level has been within normal limits. He no longer has hyperbilirubinemia, his head size has normalized, and is eating well. UPDATE June 2026: Regarding the third client’s baby who was reported above to have a history of feeding and breathing issues, per the client, his genetic test results are not yet available. UPDATE: June 2026: To date, no underlying etiology has been determined for any of the medical issues reported in the children this donor helped to conceive. As such, without a known cause for these conditions, a chance for occurrence in other donor conceived children remains unknown. Should an underlying genetic cause be identified in a donor-conceived child, genetic testing in the donor may be considered. As no genetic cause has been identified to date, no specific genetic testing is indicated for the donor nor for the children he has helped to conceive. UPDATE: July 2026: Child #3 mentioned above has been identified to have a likely pathogenic variant (c.4586 del; p.(Leu1529TyrfsTer28) in the ITSN1 gene. This variant was not identified in the child’s mother. Fairfax has emailed the donor to consent him for testing of this variant; contact has not yet been made. We will continue to update his online summary profile with information regarding this process as it becomes available. UPDATE August 2026: Fairfax was notified that a client’s child, who was previously reported to have feeding and breathing issues, a recessed chin, low muscle tone, and sleep apnea, was identified to have a genetic change (variant) in the ITSN1 gene. The donor was tested for this variant and identified to also carry it. While the specific variant (c.4586del, (p.Leu1529Tyrfs*28)) identified in this child has not been reported in the literature, other variants in this gene have been associated with children with autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disability and epilepsy. In addition, variants in the ITSN1 gene have been associated with an increased risk of developing Parkinson disease. Multiple Fairfax Cryobank medical medical updates have been reported in children conceived using this donor. Our knowledge of the features associated with variants in this gene is limited by the fact that changes in the ITSN1 gene have rarely been reported. Low muscle tone (hypotonia) has been reported in some people with variants in this gene. However, the other medical concerns reported in these children have not been consistently seen in people with variants in this gene. Because of this, it is not clear whether the other health concerns reported are related to this variant or are due to other factors. To our current knowledge, no other children have pursued genetic testing for this variant. Per the donor, neither he nor any family members have a history of autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disability, epilepsy, or low muscle tone. He also denies a personal or family history of developmental delays, behavioral issues, or other medical issues. This may indicate a greater variability in the symptoms one can expect in those with this variant. To date, over 20 births have been reported from clients who have used this donor, and no children have been reported to have been diagnosed with neurodevelopmental conditions. The oldest child is reported to be approximately 21 months old. |
