Infidelity Genetics
Genetics Question: Coloboma Iridis can point to infidelity?
Me and my wife have normal eyes, but my 1 year old daughter has coloboma iridis, a fissure in the iris of the eye. The character is known to be inherited as a sex-linked recessive gene. Do I have a coloboma or anyone in my family for her to be my daughter? Here The kicker is that both work together and there is a guy who also has worked with coloboma same condition. Has been cheating on my wife and I get tested DNA? Plz explain
If this is a really a single recessive gene on the X, then the girl, with two X chromosomes, needs two copies of the recessive allele for the disease. It became one of his wife, so that his wife has to be a carrier (you may not have been in their families or their parents immediately.) The girl got her other X chromosome from their father. In the classic condition of sex-linked recessive, since they have only one X in which show the state if their X chromosome had allele (and this seems likely, since you know the co-worker, a man with only one X chromosome, as shown). Therefore, it seems likely that the companion Work should be the father. The only way that would not be so, if the recessive allele was not merely, but interact with other genes or alleles in a more complex. If it were me, I'd get a DNA test.
