Suppose you are a genetic counselor and are asked by the parents what the probability is that if they have another (a third) child he or she will be affected by the disease. What is the answer? 


Genetics
A dominantly inherited genetic disease is identified over several generations of a large family. However, about half the families have dominant disease with complete penetrance, whereby if a parent is affected there is a 50% probability that any one offspring will be affected. Similarly, about half the families have dominant disease with reduced penetrance, whereby if a parent is affected there is a 25% probability that any one offspring will be affected.
Suppose in a particular family one parent and two of the two offspring are affected.
