Doctors said nothing was wrong — then she learned her immune system was attacking her husband’s DNA

“It’s a crazy headline.” Alex Murphy Klein was the first to admit that her predicament with her husband, Paul, is almost unheard of. The two shared on YouTube that they tied the knot in 2023 and have been trying to get pregnant since, only to find out that Alex was “allergic” to Paul’s DNA.
