If a genetic disorder runs in the family, the likelihood that your children might inherit the condition can be known by genetic testing. Genetic testing can tell a person whether he or she carries a gene for a disorder. If both parents are a carrier of the same disease, each of their children has a 25% chance of inheriting the disease, and a 50% chance of becoming a carrier of the disease.
