Where the gene(s) is/are recessive, a person might also end up with a dominant gene that masks it while then passing it on to any of their own children, who may then be unlucky enough to receive both alleles of the recessive disease gene(s). This makes it possible for the disease to skip mutliple generations and then reappear suddenly for a long time, or to simply miss every second or third.

∙ 13y agoBecause sometimes the father or mother has clear genetics on getting diseases the babycould carry the side of genetics that has no history of disease and so that generation would probably be disease free or not but that is the way it could happen.
