I am doing a family pedigree to retrace the steps of inherited High blood pressure (HBP).
What I found was that one of my aunts who is heterozygous for the trait (Hh) married a man homzygous recessive (hh). Together they had 4 children. Non of the children have highblood pressure.
Is this possible?
Out of 4 children, do 1/2 have to always be (Hh) and 1/2 (hh).
Can you not have a family where, although parents outcome is Hh and hh, that their children are not affected?
Highblood pressure is mulifactoral inheritence. Therefore, environment could also play a role in it.
- the father has HBP (hh) but could it be that be got it at a later stage in his life, after children were born, or he got it from the enviornment (stress, tension, diet, sleep)?
Can anyone help me with this pedigree problem...If you are unsure, do not answer. Only if you are certain, let me know.
