A father undergoing a recent genetic test discovered a mismatch between his DNA and that of his 12-year-old son, raising concerns about a potential fertility treatment error. The discrepancy has prompted an investigation into the sperm's chain of custody, spanning approximately 13 years. The sperm originated from an overseas medical institution before being transferred to a hospital in central Israel, where the fertilization procedure that led to the child's birth took place.
The Ministry of Health has been notified of the incident, and a probe is underway to understand how the alleged mismatch occurred. The investigation will examine the handling and transfer of the sperm across multiple medical facilities to identify any potential failures in the process.
