What is the probability that the child will have sickle cell


Problem: A child is born to parents who are first cousins; neither of these parents has sickle cell anemia (note that the inbreeding coefficient for a child born to first cousin parents was calculated in Video 4.2). If the frequency of HbS (the hemoglobin allele causing sickle cell anemia in homozygotes) is 0.1 in the ancestry group to which these parents belong, what is the probability that the child will have sickle cell anemia?
