Counseling in couples with genetic abnormalities

Autosomal recessive inheritance In autosomal recessive inheritance, both parents are carriers of a mutation, but the disease only manifests itself if a child inherits both copies of the abnormal gene. Hence, if the parents are well but carriers, every child has a 1:4 chance of being affected. The in ...
