According to the Health Ministry, a hospital reported that an Israeli woman who underwent fertility treatments is carrying a fetus that is not genetically hers.
The Assuta Medical Center in Rishon Lezion told the ministry that it conducted a genetic test on a pregnant woman who had an embryo transfer following IVF, and discovered that the fetus is not genetically matched to either her or her partner.
The ministry says it is immediately establishing a committee to investigate the incident.
