Best to speak with: A geneticist. There are some things that can be done, but it usually involves sex typing and re-implantation. Otherwise, there is not much to avoid the possibility of genetic inheritance. As a female, you can find out if you are a carrier or not and this can help clarify the percentages. Mainly i would recommend speaking with a geneticist for plans specifically for your views. Hope that helps!
