Wilson’s disease is an inherited disorder in which there is too much copper in the body’s tissue. It is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Below are pedigrees from two families where some members of a family have Wilson’s disease. Neither Hillary nor Justin have Wilson’s disease. If they have a child, what is the chance this child will have Wilson’s disease?
