Chance to pass schizoaffective to child?

DX'd - Sz/SzA

anyone know the chances of passing on either sz or bp or sza from parents that has one with sza and the other with depression and anxiety. If that’s to difficult a combo how about if one is fine and the other is sza.

I’ve found that bipolar in one parent has 10% and same in sz case. But I’m curious about the above scenario.

You should consult a prenatal geneticist.

I think if the other parent has anxiety and depression it is not a substantial additional risk (to the 10-15% risk from the one parent witb sz/sza) but it may add a small amount.
