Explanation:
Thalassemias are inherited conditions — they're carried in the genes and passed on from parents to children. People who are carriers of a thalassemia gene show no thalassemia symptoms and might not know they're carriers. If both parents are carriers, they can pass the disease to their kids.

Answer:
This means that to be affected, a person must have a mutation in both copies of the responsible gene in each cell . Affected people inherit one mutated copy of the gene from each parent, who is referred to as a carrier .When both parents are carriers, each pregnancy has a 1 in 4 chance that the baby will be born with Gaucher disease. A carrier having a child with someone who has Gaucher disease also increases the risk.
