A study has been made of methods of approximating the probability of severe disease occurrence in the child of parents who both suffer from a mild (or subclinical) form of the disease in question. A wide range of parameter values has been considered. It has been found that (i) The Mendell-Elston formula is very accurate. (ii) The simple pseudo-Pareto formula is not quite as accurate as the Mendell-Elston, but is still well within the range of acceptability. (iii) A more elaborate pseudo-Pareto formula is very accurate.
针对父母双方均患有该疾病轻度（或亚临床）形式的儿童中严重疾病发生概率的近似方法进行了一项研究。考虑了广泛的参数值范围。结果发现：（i）孟德尔 - 埃尔斯顿公式非常准确。（ii）简单的伪帕累托公式不如孟德尔 - 埃尔斯顿公式准确，但仍在可接受范围内。（iii）一个更精细的伪帕累托公式非常准确。
