i assume you are both carriers? if i understand correctly, it can be passed down. if it's a recessive gene, then there's a 25% chance the baby would not be a carrier, a 50% chance it would be a carrier but not have a disease, and a 25% chance of having the disease. i know a couple where both are carriers, so they saw a specialist. they had 20 fertilized eggs, and had them tested. they implanted 2 eggs that did not carry it. it's a good thing they did, as over half of the eggs they fertilized had both genes (so much for statistics).
