A member asked:

Ana tested positive (1:40) and no symptoms of any auto immune disease.planning to get pregnant in 6 months.any chances of my baby getting ana positive?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

A chance: Yes there is always a chance but a 1:40 result is barely abnormal and probably has no medical significance anyway.
