No rules as such, but the Metahumanity chapter of SR2 says that people with
parents of different races become one of those races, not a mixture: if your
daddy is an elf and your mommy is an ork, you're likely to be an ork, though
there's a small chance you would become and elf. To be precise:
"Elves and dwarfs are nearly always born to parents of the same race. Elves
beget elves, dwarfs beget dwarfs, and so on. In the instances of attempts at
natural crossbreeding the child is always of the same race as either the elf
or dwarf parent. There appears to be an almost exact 50 percent chance of
either expression. No true half-breeds or crossbreeds are known to exist. By
2050 dual human parentage almost never results in elf or dwarf offspring.
The same holds true for orks and trolls, who are nearly always born to
parents of the same race. Unlike the early days of goblinization, it is now
rare for a human child (dual human parentage) to express into ork or troll
form, but it does occur. Crossbreed attempts between the elf/dwarf group and
the ork/troll group nearly always result in a goblinized expression." --SR2
