In humans the risk of passing on a genetic disorder to offspring can be assessed by?
You could make a pedigree which could identify carriers of a genetic disorder and individuals with the disorder. You could do blood tests to determine whether a person carries a gene for a particular genetic disorder. You could make a karyotype to determine whether there are any chromosomal abnormalities.

Typically, once a genetic disorder has been corrected in an individual through gene transfer, they would not pass the disorder on to their offspring. The corrected genes would be present in the reproductive cells and would be passed on without the genetic disorder.
