his newly discovered genetic disorder obeys autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. Thus, the individual must have the 2 copies of mutant allele to express the syndrome. If the individual has only one, he will only be a carrier and hence, does not develop the condition. (unaffected carrier). When two carriers mate, each child has a 25% chance of being homozygous wild-type (unaffected); a 25% chance of being homozygous mutant (affected); or a 50% chance of being heterozygous (unaffected carrier).
