I am a carrier of CFTR mutations. If I knock up a random woman theres a 1 in 80000 chance of the child having cystic fibrosis. If I knock up my sister theres a 1 in 16 chance instead.

I’m being pedantic, but if you know you’re a carrier (and don’t know the carrier status of your sister) then it is 1 in 8

You are correct, and i did realize this some time after posting I’m just too lazy to edit it.
