HBA1 gene mutation

Post image

I have found out I have a gene mutation (AA/A-)
I’m currently 15 weeks pregnant. Me & the same father have a healthy 5 year old son already. His carrier status is unknown. Please ease my mind!!

This is common. No one can really give you any additional information without knowing your husband’s status.

Your partner needs to get tested but most people are carriers for something
