A member asked:
Is osteogenesis imperfecta can be inherent by all your children?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: This autosomal dominant disorder has a 50% per pregnancy transmission risk. Every conception may pass the disorder. So in fact, every child of an affected person could have the disorder or every child may be free of the disorder. In a series of a million pregnancies, statistically, half would & half would not.
