What is the probability of other children inheirting dystonia?

If dystonia is a genetic disorder there is different probabilities of getting the disease based on the parents genetics.

1. If both parents are carriers, the child has a 25% chance of having the disorder, and a 50% chance of being a carrier. There is also a 25% chance that they will have 2 dominant genes and will not pass it on or have the disorder

2. If one parent is a carrier and the other is not, then there is no chance that the child will have the disorder.

3. If one parent has 2 dominant non-disorder genes and one has the disorder, the child will not have the disorder but will definitely be a carrier (100% of the time).

There are different situations. Can you please elaborate on your question.
