För första gången har forskare kopplat specifika defekter i spermier till graviditetskomplikationer och negativ effekt på barnets hälsa. Studien från Lunds universitet visar att DNA-skador på pappans spermier fördubblar risken för havandeskapsförgiftning för kvinnor som blivit gravida genom IVF. Dessutom ökar risken för barnet att födas för tidigt. Ungefär 20–30 procent av alla barn som föds med h
