Please help me I am a bit confused

An STR on chromosome 9 is immediately adjacent to a gene involved in a dominant blood disorder (only one copy of the mutation is required for the disease). Thus, in a family
with a known mutation in the disorder-causing gene, inheritance of the STR can be used to diagnose the disorder. There are four different alleles of the STR (A, B, C and D), each
with different numbers of GATCTCG repeats. The A allele has 10 repeats, the B allele has 19 repeats, the Callele has 25 repeats, and the D allele has 13 repeats.
