What are the possible genotypes of the parents for marfan syndrome?
Wiki User
∙ 14y ago
Well, if you're asking what are the possible genotype of parents affected, they could be either:
MM or Mm because the syndrome is autosomal dominant
If either parent is affected, then the children are at least at a risk of 50% because of the dominance of the allele.
