It needs genetic workup first of parents and then one can give possibility of 25% or 50 % of repeat of same. After that during next pregnancy early testing possible to detect whether that child belongs to 25 or 50 % or healthy so that if affected termination option remains open. Right now meet genetic specialist with all records and niece.
