What percentage of children have progeria?

Answer 1

What are the chances of a person with this disease passing the disease to their offspring (include possible scenarios)?

Scenarios:

• Full Albino and Full Albino have a 100% chance of having an Albino child.

• If both parents with albinism have the same type of albinism (i.e. OCA1, then the children will be affected), However if both parents have different types of albinism the children will be normally pigmented and carriers for both defective genes. (Leigh Lauflin)

• Full Albino and Normal person have a 50% chance of an albino child and a 50% chance of a carrier, but normal child.

• A heterozygous albino male and a carrier female have a 75% chance of getting an albino or carrier child and a 25% chance of getting a normal child.

Answer 2

This disease is found in 1 in 4 million people and the average life span is 13 years. It is autosomal dominate but due to a new mutation. If the person with the disease could even be even old enough to produce a child, the chances that the child would have the disease would be 100%.

Answer 3

Considering no one with Down's Syndrome would ever get laid, the chances are nil.

If you want the genetic stuff, look on Wikipedia.

Answer 4

Every 1 in 4 to 8 million children are born with Progeria or "Hutchinson Gilford Syndrome"

you cannot pass progeria on it is a chance occurance

Answer 5

It isn't a disease. It's a disorder. And the chances of a child being diagnosed with autism is

1 in 150 .

Answer 6

Progeria is a very rare genetic disorder, affecting approximately 1 in 20 million births globally. Thus, the percentage of children with progeria is extremely low, less than 0.00001%.

Answer 7

1 out of 4 million children have it.
