autosomal recessive inheritance

What are the Chances of Inheriting an Autosomal Recessive Disorder?

If both parents are carriers of an autosomal recessive mutation, there is a 25% chance with each pregnancy that the child will inherit both mutated genes and be affected by the disorder. There is a 50% chance the child will be a carrier like the parents, and a 25% chance the child will inherit two normal genes.
