Zero: Risk of a carrier status may be 1 in 4 cases.Risk of full blown disease is zero.It requires both parents to be carriers.

Probably low: If you spouse has been tested and she is not a carrier as well, your risk of an affected baby is low because you are only able to pass the trait to the baby and your partner can only pass on normal.
