Understanding prior probability is crucial for making informed decisions about testing and management.

Obligate Carrier

An obligate carrier is an individual who must carry a specific genetic mutation based on their family history, even if they do not express the associated trait or condition. This concept is important in genetic counseling as it helps identify individuals at risk of passing on genetic disorders to their offspring, guiding decisions about testing and reproductive options.
