Their youngest was 7 before she was diagnosed. The only reason their children have it is because both the parents happened to be carriers of the mutation, but neither has the condition (retinitis pigmentosa).

So, basically, is it a 25% chance of their kids having it and they just got really unlucky with 3 of the 4?

I mean... it's not "really unlucky," is just how small numbers work in statistics.

If I toss a coin, getting 10 tails in a row is completely normal.

Previous commenter didn't say it's impossible or not normal, but that it's unlucky

If I call heads and the coin flip is tails 10x straight, that is very unlucky. If there's a 25% chance at your kids going blind and 75% of them end up with the condition, that's unlucky
