A member asked:
What genetic testing do sperm donors go through?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Variable, if any: From reporting published in a may 14, 2012 new york times article: "the fda requires that sperm donors be tested for communicable diseases, but there is no federal requirement that sperm banks screen for genetic diseases. Some of the betters ones do anyway, in accordance with guidelines promulgated by organizations like the american society for reproductive medicine.".
