Question:medium

If an autosomal recessive disorder, which shows Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, has an incidence of 1 in 6400, then the frequency of a carrier is approximately -

Show Hint

For rare autosomal recessive genetic disorders where $q$ is very small, the dominant allele frequency $p$ is extremely close to $1$. Consequently, the carrier frequency can be quickly estimated as simply $2q$.
