A child is diagnosed with a rare genetic disease neither parent has this disease how was the disorder inherited?

Recessive is carried by both parents
In simplest terms, the disease is recessive, so two copies of the gene that cause it are necessary. Both parents have only one copy of the gene, so, they don't have it, but are carriers. A child gets half his or her genes from each parent. If the child gets the bad gene from each parent, the child will have the disease. There is a 25% chance of this happening with every child these parents have.
