Q

Autosomal Recessive

  • Both parents unaffected
  • 1 Sibling has condition
  • 1 sibling does not have condition

Chance of sibling that does not have condition being carrier?

A

2 in 3

Because both parents will be carriers and the child does not have the condition which leaves three options that could be possible
