Patient's question:
The child born to a mentally retarded mother will also be mentally retarded. Is it definitely hereditary?Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis:It cannot be said with absolute certainty that individuals with intellectual disability will pass it on to their children, but if there is a chromosomal deletion, it will definitely be inherited. It is recommended to check the chromosomes at the hospital to determine if they are normal.
