In the pedigree below, the rare trait is autosomal recessive. If the frequency of heterozygotes for
the trait in the general population is 1/15, then what is the probability of II-2 having an affected
child with his phenotypically normal wife (she is not shown)? 4. In the pedigree below, the rare
trait is autosomal recessive. If the frequency of heterozygotes for the trait in the general
population is 1/15, then what is the probability of Il-2 having an affected child with his
phenotypically normal wife (she is not shown)? (3 pts)
Solution
In the given pedigree chart, II-1 is affected by a rare recessive autosomal disease. Hence his
parents are heterozygous for the trait. The second progeny of the F2 generation, II-2 is normal
and marries a girl who is also normal.
For II-2 and his wife to have an affected child, both of them need to be heterozygous.
P (II-2 being heterozygous) = 2/3 x 1/15 = 2/45
Now, chances the couple will have an affected child = 1/4
Therefore P( parents being heterozygous and child born is affected) = 2/45 x 1/4 = 1/90
