The main concerns for couples undergoing assisted reproduction treatment using donor gametes are the possibilities of acquiring infectious diseases and of transmitting genetic disorders to the progeny. They are also frequently concerned and interested in the cultural and psychological background of the donors. Our aim was to examine the current prevalence of genetic alterations and infectious diseases in our sperm and oocyte donor population, and to review our experience in the management of donors and candidates during the last 10 years.
