Since one of you is a carrier and the other one has a negative result for the same condition, your chance of having a child with this genetic condition is very low. However, this chance is not null because you were screened only for the most common mutations in the Ashkenazi Jewish community. The remaining risk will vary according to the ethnicity of the partner who has the negative result. As one of you is a carrier, your children can also be carriers of the condition. This will have implications for them when they reach adulthood and wish to start a family themselves.
