The chances of that are vanishingly small. I have seven siblings. The eight of us have a total of 34 children. If there were a dominant gene, even if its expression is unusually mild, one of those children would certainly have some weird neurological problems! Even the possibility that I have a de novo dominant mutation is slim, since I have seven kids myself.
