What is the chance for each child to have Huntington's disease? Are the 3 events (the children having HD) independent or mutually exclusive? What are the chances that all three children are HD free? If one of the three children marries a person with no family history of HD (assume normal), what is the chance that their child will have the disease? (we do not know yet if the parent has it or not)
