Färjestad BK hockey star Emil Larmi, 29, and his wife Annika, 28, have reportedly discovered the genetic explanation behind their two miscarriages within the past year. According to Expressen Sport, both parents carry the same rare genetic defect, which has a 25 percent chance of being inherited by their children when both parents are carriers. The couple, who already have a daughter born in 2023, experienced the two pregnancy losses within one year.
" She expressed mixed emotions of being "confused, angry, sad, and uncomprehending, but at the same time relieved" now that they have an explanation. The couple announced in early February that they are expecting another child and have undergone fetal diagnostics, with initial ultrasound results appearing normal. However, they await further testing in the coming weeks as abnormalities from this genetic condition typically become visible later in pregnancy.
