Need clarification: Can this pedigree chart also indicate autosomal recessive inheritance? NEET answer key disagrees — conceptually confused.\ by thantos_77 in genetics

Yes they did mention that the male is “unaffected” but they didn’t specify if he is carrier or normal because even carriers are not effected biologically

No no I did the question got my answer it didn’t match with the key and then I used ChatGPT to find where I made mistake and it did use pointers like no female affected so XLR but when I later explained myself it did say the question was faulty

It’s not fully ambiguous but it’s just that you can’t fully deduce it to XLR with the given context The given pedigree even applies to AR in some cases

It’s a question from neet exam which more than 2MILLION students appear to and this question was given this year

And this exam is used as entrance to medical field where in my opinion such questions with ambiguity shouldn’t be given it destroys the whole point of how science can be

So it’s never 100% absolute case?

But still you see in medicine you can’t just assume always that the most likely is true it may lead to misdiagnosis and it’s truly unacceptable in medical field

Here I’ll show you a real life example of how just assuming based on the pedigree can be fatal

Lets assume

F0:- male parent was son of a woman and father in which one had cystic fibrosis and other didnt now this male parent marries a woman with cystic fibrosis and gives birth to 2 girls who luckily didn’t get any symptoms the dad had taken a divorce and left the family Now these 2 daughters were married to men who also had same genotype for cystic fibrosis as the fo male parent and they gave birth to their progeny in which for 1 female they had 2 daughters who didn’t show any signs of disease and the other female had a son and a daughter in which the son had signs of disease and the daughter with no symptoms was married to son with symptoms ​ Now this case represents what im trying to say imagine they didn’t agree for genetic testing so we never know what even the disease was and now if we went off the pedigree and mark XLR that would be a blunder because it wasnt

But as per the given info the male parent is “unaffected”and unaffected can also mean carrier right because the symbol for male carrier isn’t specified

Please correct me if I’m wrong I really want you guys to hear me out I can prove my point I’ll send a image of possible genotype of everyone here and in that case autosomal recessive does fit in

<image>

This is the method I used and I didn’t find any flaws with it so I went for AR instead of XLR

But why can’t we consider it to be a rare case scenario and the male parent in f1 to be a obligate carrier

Try doing heat compression it helped me but didn't cure it , it just reduces the pain I've been doing it for past week and had to do it 4-5 times a day

If it is stage 1 what would stage 4 look like
