A member asked:
What happens if the mother carries the recessive pku gene, and the father does not, then.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No problem: The potential offspring of this pairing would all have equal chance to be a PKU carrier or normal. There is no chance of having a PKU offspring from this couple.
