| Description | A sperm donor passed on a rare and sometimes deadly disease to five children born to four different couples, Michigan doctors said in a report released Friday.
The children were diagnosed with severe congenital neutropenia. Patients lack a type of white blood cell that fights bacteria, making them extremely prone to infections after birth. The disorder also increases the risk of leukemia. |
