If my Husbands sister has Epilepsy, what is the chance of one of our children developing the illness?
Both him and I do not have it. My side of the family is completely healthy, throughout generations of my family, there are no signs of any known illnesses. No one else that we know of has Epilepsy from my Husbands side of the family, except for his younger sister.
Scientifically speaking, if no one else in the family has the disorder, the chances of having an epileptic child are the same as if the parents are both non-epileptic. Don’t worry too much.
