If you have a mutation in your skin cells from falling asleep in a tanning bed, how will this affect your offspring?

A couple who wishes to have children visits you, a genetic counselor. There is a history of a deleterious recessive trait in males in the womans family but not in the mans family. The couple is convinced that because his family shows no history of this genetic disease, they are not at risk of having affected children. What steps would you take to assess this situation and educate the couple?
Do you agree or disagree why? I think this topic is sort of tricky and I still can't decide if I feel like we should allow this. I think there many good pros as well as cons when it comes to changing a babies genes and traits. I understand why people would want to make sure their baby is born healthy and doesn't have any diseases like Alzheimers or Huntington's disease. At the same time, I am a big believer in the idea that everything happens for a reason so part of my feels like it is wrong to alter a baby because you never know what life could've been like. ( I hope what I am trying to say makes sense) There is also that risk of the baby getting more sick and other things happening which makes me feel like it is not worth the risk to alter them. In the article I read it mentions how this can make people superior to others which I also think will cause some problems in the future.

The X-linked gene responsible for DMD encodes a protein called dystrophin that is required for muscle function. Dystrophin protein is not secreted—it remains inthe cells that produce it. Given what you know aboutBarr body formation, do you think that females heterozygous for the recessive DMD disease allele could havethe disease in some parts of their bodies and not others?

A couple has had a child born with neurofibromatosis. They come to your genetic counseling office for help. After taking an extensive family history, you determine that there is no history of this disease on either side of the family. The couple wants to have another child and wants to be advised about the risks of that child having neurofibromatosis. What advice do you give them?
The following family has a history of inherited breast cancer. Betty (grandmother) does not carry the gene. Don, her husband, does. Dons mother and sister had breast cancer. One of Betty and Dons daughters (Sarah) has breast cancer; the other (Karen) does not. Sarahs daughters are in their 30s. Dawn, 33, has breast cancer; Debbie, 31, does not. Debbie is wondering if she will get the disease because she looks like her mother. Dawn is wondering if her 2-year-old daughter (Nicole) will get the disease. a. Draw a pedigree indicating affected individuals and identify all individuals. b. What is the most likely mode of inheritance of this trait? c. What are Dons genotype and phenotype? d. What is the genotype of the unaffected women (Betty and Karen)? e. A genetic marker has been found that maps very close to the gene. Given the following marker data for chromosomes 4 and 17, which chromosome does this gene map to? f. Using the same genetic marker, Debbie and Nicole were tested. The results are shown in the following figure. Based on their genotypes, is either of them at increased risk for breast cancer?
