Autosomal recessive inherited disease
In average, each person carries 2.3 genetic conditions
| Carriers are usually asymptomatic and will never be aware of it unless they perform a genetic carrier screening | |
| 2 out of 5 people carries defective genes | |
| For example, around 10% of the Chinese population are thalassemia carriers, while most of them are unaware of the condition | |
| Defective genes can be inherited and causing diseases |
Autosomal recessive genes effects your child up to 75%
| Caused by autosomal recessive genes | |
| Owning a pair of recessive genes will lead to autosomal recessive inherited disease | |
| Carrier with only one copy of mutation for a recessive disease has no symptoms | |
| With two carriers as parents; | |
| The child will have up to 25% chance of inheriting a carrier gene and being born with a severe disease. |
