Genetic Disease Transmission Probability
Rahul's Noteblog Notes on Genetics Genetic Disease Transmission Probability
Autosomal Recessive Diseases:
Probability that a child will inherit an autosomal recessive disease is calculated as:
[probability that dad is carrier]
multiplied by
[probability that mom is carrier]
multiplied by
[probability that dad transmits disease to child; this value is 1 if dad has the disease]
multiplied by
[probability that mom transmits disease to child; this value is 1 if mom has the disease].
X-Linked Recessive Disease:
Probability that a child will inherit an X-linked recessive disease is calculated as:
[probability that dad is carrier]
multiplied by
[probability that mom is carrier]
multiplied by
[probability that dad transmits disease to child]
multiplied by
[probability that mom transmits disease to child].
multiplied by
[probability that child is either male or female]
