A member asked:
Help please? what is the probalility that two parents both carriers of sickle cell with bear offsprings who will be sickler?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
25% each conception: This pairing has only 3 potential outcomes.There is a basic risk that 25% of all conceptions will become sickle cell affected.50% would become carriers and 25% would carry no sickle defect. However, you could still have 4 sicklers in a row.
