I have just had a thought. Although my son does not seem to have inherited my PCD but is there still a chance that he could have fertility issues? Also, what are the chances of a child of his having the condition?

he Shouldn’t have fertility issues due to pcd but he may have the faulty gene. If his partner also has the faulty gene then he would have a 1:4 chance of the baby have pcd. I think anyway ... that is my understanding. Worth talking to his GP if he is worried.
