IVF BABIES MORE PRONE TO CANCER.

Danish Researchers have said that children born after fertility treatment are three times more likely to develop childhood cancer. They are 65% more likely to develop leukaemia, and 88% more likely to develop cancers of the brain and central nervous system. It suggests that fertility treatment has a way of changing behaviours of certain genes when they are passed from parent to child in a process known as GENOMIC IMPRINTING.
