A woman knows that her mother is a carrier of Kartagener’s syndrome (an autosomal recessive disorder). The woman does not know if either she or her husband are carriers. The couple wants to have a child, but is worried about whether or not they could have a child with Kartagener’s syndrome. Should the couple seek the advice of a genetic counselor? In other words, is there a chance they could have an affected child? If there is a chance, please make sure your answer includes the specific parental genotypes necessary to make this possible.
