Both the parents are carrier --> 25% children will be affected, 50% will be carrier and 25% will be normal. o From above flow cha it is clear that with each bih :? (i) One chance in four been affected (25%), i.e. the risk of recurrence is 25% for each bih. (ii) Two in four chance to being normal but a carrier (50%) (iii) One in four chance of being normal and unaffected (25%) (iv) Three in four chances of being phenotypically normal (75%), i.e. not manifesting disease
