A sperm donor who unknowingly harboured a genetic mutation that dramatically raises the risk of cancer has fathered at least 197 children across Europe, a major investigation has revealed.
Some children have already died and only a minority who inherit the mutation will escape cancer in their lifetimes.
The sperm was not sold to UK clinics, but the BBC can confirm a "very small" number of British families, who have been informed, used the donor's sperm while having fertility treatment in Denmark.
Denmark's European Sperm Bank, which sold the sperm, said families affected had their "deepest sympathy" and admitted the sperm was used to make too many babies in some countries.

A woman will be the first person in the UK to trial new 3D imaging technology designed to give earlier diagnosis of diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, a university has said.
Emma Carnell, 45, from Exeter, Devon, was on holiday in Corfu in July when she began having pain in her hands, shoulders, and knees.
Initial tests carried out when she returned to the UK showed negative results for rheumatoid arthritis, but Ms Carnell's doctor ordered an ultrasound which confirmed the diagnosis, she said.
She is now taking part in a trial at the University of Exeter using new 3D imaging technology developed by Adaptix, which provides more detailed images.
