Hi there,

I’ve been with my partner for over 7 years I’m 24 and he’s 26 and we were looking to get married and eventually start a family. However the paternal side has Essential Thrombocythemia and also Crohns (I don’t know if you’d know the answer for the crohns) from the past two years and has medicine for it. Our greatest concern would be can this be directly inherited in our children or pose any issues in pregnancy/childbirth if both the conditions are from the paternal side and maternal side is healthy with no underlying conditions. If so what percentage are the chances of the child inheriting these issues. As my partners main concern is if there is a high chance then he cannot bring life into this world knowing that it will have these issues. So I’d really appreciate any and every piece of information please and thank you.
