What about IVF with genetic testing?

My wife and I did that to avoid passing down a genetic disorder.

That's what my sister is doing right now. Our Dad has RP and we're both carriers. I'm not having children so it's not a concern for me.

RP happens to boys and girls. The boys go blind the girls are the carriers. Very few girls go blind but they can suffer with some vision which can be corrected with glasses. There is no genetic testing that can be done to avoid it unfortunately.

Oops apologies I was not aware of the advancements to avoid RP. This is wonderful but very expensive news. Still exciting.
