Imagine a genetic counselor working with a couple who have just had a child who is suffering from Tay-Sachs disease. Neither parent has Tay-Sachs, nor does anyone in their families. Which of the following statements should this counselor make to this couple?A. "Because no one in either of your families has Tay-Sachs, you are not likely to have another baby with Tay-Sachs. You can safely have another child."
B. "Because you have had one child with Tay-Sachs, you must each carry the allele. Any child you have has a 50% chance of having the disease."
C. "Because you have had one child with Tay-Sachs, you must each carry the allele. Any child you have has a 25% chance of having the disease."
D. "Because you have had one child with Tay-Sachs, you must both carry the allele. However, since the chance of having an affected child is 25%, you may safely have thee more children without worrying about having another child with Tay-Sachs."
E. "You must both be tested to see who is a carrier of the Tay-Sachs allele."
