Angelica just learned that her paternal uncle, Aaron, passed away from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (autosomal dominant). Angelica’s father was killed in a duty as a young man, and therefore, his status is unknown. Her two sisters, Eliza and Peggy, have been tested for the known causative mutation in the family and do not have it. What is the chance that Angelica has the familial mutation for HCM?
