Title: Suppose you are a genetics counselor who is working with a 21-year-old pregnant
Post by: arealhero on Nov 22, 2014
Suppose you are a genetics counselor who is working with a 21-year-old pregnant woman who has just discovered that her father has Huntington’s chorea, a rare dominant autosomal trait. This disease usually develops in middle age, so people carrying this trait do not find out they have this genetic disorder until midlife. What are the chances that the child she is carrying will develop the disease? (Assume that her husband’s family has no history of the disease.) What is the chance that she has Huntington’s chorea?
