In a three‑generation pedigree the following pattern is observed: Generation I - an affected mother (M) and an unaffected father (F). All four of their children (two males, two females) are affected. Generation II - an affected male (M2) marries an unaffected female; they have two children, both unaffected. An affected female (F2) marries an unaffected male; they have three children, all affected. No affected individual has an affected parent of the opposite sex.
