Q: I have a distant relative having Kartagener's Syndrome but is living a normal life. My question is can she get married? How risk free is this?

A:You must be aware that people with Kartageners syndrome are usually infertile and some of them can have fairly severe sinusitis & bronchiectasis. This should certainly be disclosed to the future spouse and advice taken by the couple from a genetics expert.
