Yes. If one parent is affected the risk is about 15%. Both parents, risk 50%; one parent and a sib, risk 20%. Ref: PS Harper. Practical Genetic Counselling. Butterworth and Heinemann, Oxford, 1993, 4th edition, pp. 192.

Take a good family history!

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
