passing the trait

Hello Everyone, I have the SCT that was passed from my dad. There are some unanswered questions about who passed the trait to him, my question is, is it possible not to pass the trait to all of your kids?

Hi Shayden,

A short answer is yes. I will use my family to explain. Both parents have the trait and give birth to 4 of us. 2 have full blown disease, one has a trait and the other has none at all. So some kids can be lucky as my little sister is. I hope this answers your question
