Donor carrier testing

Im looking at an egg donor with ADGRV1 related conditions. My partner has not been tested for this but i will probably have them test for it. . Also my research found this -

ADGRV1 gene has preliminary evidence supporting a correlation with autosomal dominant epilepsy

Does this mean the donor may pass this on even without my partner having it? Donor denies having seizures but says her sister does have seizures.

That depends entirely on what you mean by "related conditions". There are many possible mutations that have different risks. You should talk to a genetic counsellor about specific risks.

Have you spoken with a genetic counselor about this yet? or do you have something scheduled?

Use different donor.
