: Please send any information telling how it is passed down. Is it dominant, recessive, sex-linked, or due to nondisjunction? What is the frequency of the disease? Is it autosonamal onfirst pair of chromosones? Please send anything on these questions? thanks!!!!!!!
I think its a mutant gene on a recessive chromasome, so you need two mutant double recessives to get it. So if the parents are carriers, then there is a 1:4 chance that a child will have it
