[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most genetic defects are mutations. They have nothing to do with parents, parents' marriages, and inbreeding.[/quote] Genetic defects are mutations that can be passed on to the offspring. If you have two parents that have the same recessive mutation then they have a 1/4 chance of both passing on that gene to their child and cause the manifestation of the disease in that child.[/quote] True, but I was pointing out that whether the first person that has the de novo mutation is part of a long line of cousins is irrelevant.[/quote]
