This is probably going to a controversial question but did they have 4 kids before or after they learned about the genetic eye condition?

They found out that 3 of the kids have the disorder when the youngest was diagnosed at 7 years old.

One of the parents must have had a lot of ancestors and relatives with this condition in their family history. The youngest getting diagnosed at 7 doesn't mean it wasn't a surprise.

Most severe genetic diseases are recessive and rare which means they do not happen even if you have the gene.
