A child patient was found to have an autosomal recessive disease. Mutation testing indicated homozygosity for the pathogenic mutation. Mutation testing in father found him heterozygous while the mother is wild type for both alleles. How could this happen? Child have inherited a chromosome from his paternal grandfather and the other homolog from his paternal grandmother Child might be trisomic then trisomic rescue happened and resulted in paternal isodisomy Child miaht be trisomic then trisomic
