The condition shown in this family has multiple possible modes of inheritance: X-linked recessive, autosomal dominant, and autosomal recessive. It is always one mode of inheritance for each family (ie it doesn't change between people within the same family). Assume full penetrance and onset from birth. You are trying to determine the mode of inheritance for the condition in this family. Regardless of the gene it's on, finding a single pathogenic mutation in who in this family (other than the affected person) would allow you to determine the mode of inheritance? Select one: a. The mother b. Finding a pathogenic mutation in no one individual will give that information c. The father d. The sister If you did genetic testing to determine your relatedness to various family members, which of the following would give a result of r=25%?
