-As they (the children) grow into adults, one of them (a woman) meets another person from a different family (a man), and ends up having children with them; the person they met is from a family that doesn't carry the genetic variant she inherited from her father.

-After having children (3), 2 out of the three end up having the genetic variant, showing how the process in which a genetic variant "runs in the family"
