What happens when new medical information is received about a donor or his offspring?
The staff in our Genetics Department document all medical issues and updates received about a donor’s personal or family medical history or an offspring’s medical history. Donor Updates All donors are asked to inform us of new medical issues that may develop for their family members after they have retired from our program. Family history and medical updates reported by a donor are not added to the donor’s long profile because it is a static document representing the medical history of the donor at the time he entered our program. However, clients are welcome to contact the Genetics Department to learn of any updates on their donor as they may want to include them as part of their child’s medical records. Offspring Updates All clients are asked to inform California Cryobank if their child or fetus has a significant medical problem. One of our genetic counselors creates a confidential report on every medical issue reported. Each report is reviewed and discussed by our medical geneticist
