A California couple sued a Pasadena-based fertility clinic on Wednesday, saying it allegedly implanted an embryo carrying a rare gene that causes deadly stomach cancer and then falsified records to cover up its mistake.
Melissa Diaz in 2020 had her eggs retrieved. Those eggs were fertilized with Jason's sperm to create embryos to be implanted, a process known as in vitro fertilization or IVF.
An HRC employee then told Melissa that they had another embryo without the gene, and she responded that the couple wanted to transfer that embryo. In fact, the employee was wrong and the embryo did carry the gene, the lawsuit said.
