‚Genetic parents‘ found in embryo mix up: Women carrying twins not biologically hers after treatment

DNA tests have made it possible to confirm that there was a mix-up of embryos at Rome‘s Sandro Pertini hospital during assisted-fertility treatments and identify the biological parents of twins being carried by a woman who is not their genetic mother, ANSA sources said Thursday. Rome prosecutors are investigating the case after the woman who is pregnant with the twins said prenatal tests had shown that she was not the genetic mother of them.
