Risk Calculation
Risk calculations deal with:– Mode of Inheritance– Probability– Bayes’ Theorem
![Page 9: Genetic Counseling By: Cary Edmondson ISAT 351 April 19, 1999.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082610/56649ddd5503460f94ad5864/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Mode of Inheritance
Autosomal Dominant– affected person has 1 dominant mutant allele and
1 recessive normal allele, heterozygous Autosomal Recessive
– both parents are heterozygous with the same recessive mutant allele
Sex linked disorder– X-linked and Y-linked

Probability
Law of Addition = mutually exclusive Law of Multiplication = independent Bayes’ Theorem
– determines the overall event or outcome by considering all possibilities
– Final Result = Posterior probability that someone is a carrier
