My father and the brothers of my two aunts are all suffering from optic atrophy.

Patient's question:

Dear, my two younger cousins from my mother's and aunt's families both have optic atrophy. I also carry the gene for this disease (((I am female)), how is it possible that my descendants might also get sick? About the past treatment and its effectiveness: What kind of assistance is needed for intergenerational inheritance: Speculation on the possibility of intergenerational inheritance

Doctor's answer:

The gene for the nervous system has eight groups of genes, and it is an autosomal recessive disease. This hereditary disease has no relationship to gender, with a 1/2 probability of occurrence in both males and females. The same applies to you.
Medical advice: If you do not exhibit this disease, it proves that you are a carrier. The probability of your offspring developing the disease is 1/8. If you have this disease, the probability of your offspring developing the disease is 1/4. It is recommended that you do not worry too much.
