An Israeli father has discovered a genetic mismatch with his 12-year-old son, a revelation that emerged after the father and his partner underwent fertility treatments 13 years ago. The process, which began with sperm treatment in a hospital abroad, was later transferred to another Israeli hospital before final fertilization at a central Israeli hospital. The discovery was made through a recent genetic test conducted by the father, which indicated a lack of genetic compatibility between him and his son. This finding necessitates an investigation by all involved hospitals regarding the sperm used during the procedure. The Ministry of Health has been notified of the incident. This case follows a similar suspected failure at Assuta Medical Center in August, where a private genetic test abroad raised concerns that the sperm donor for a mother's children might not have been a genetic match.
