Retinoblastoma usually occurs as a sporadic event but in around 10% of cases there is a positive family history due to autosomal dominant inheritance. In these families the penetrance is approximately 80% (= 0.8). A woman with retinoblastoma, whose father and grandfather were also affected, has an unaffected partner with no relevant family history. Which of the following is correct regarding their children?
