How far back in the family history do genetic counselors need to go?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
As far as you...: ...Can take them. Some rare recessive diseases may not show up in many generations, or only in cousin marriages. It's possible ggg-aunt abigail and ggg-uncle benedict were second cousins once removed, and the only other cases of doubletalksidase deficiency were in their offspring.
