Hi @lanabanana
How are you doing today?
It seems like you've already talked to your doctor about this, so you may know the chances. But I will tag Carenity members and they can let you know how often AS has appeared in their family.

Do your parents or siblings have AS? Do you have kids? Do they have AS?
Take care,

The only family member that also has AS is my cousin from my father's side if the family and.neither of us carry the gene.

So my doctor told me that I can genetically pass down AS and my husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for a while so just want to ease my mind a bit. I just wanted to know what the chances are like if there's anyone here who might have kids and if so did they get it too
