Re: Trying for a second child

hi Vickie

its 50 / 50 chance of passing BPES on, if you or your partner has it. Doesnt matter if it is a boy or girl.

I am sure others will give a more detailed explaination.

Hi my husband has BPES and we have a 3 year old daughter who also has the condition and we are keen to start trying for a brother or sister for her. What are the odds that we may have another child with BPES?

Howdy,

Short answer: The chance that a child of a BPES-enhanced adult will also

be BPES-enhanced is 50% - that's for EACH child, independent of each other.

Even shorter answer: 50%
