Patient's question:
Mother and brother of the boyfriend are mentally retarded The boyfriend and his father will never have a family medical history.Hello, will our child be affected? Will it be inherited from the previous generation?
Previous treatment and effectiveness: No family medical history.
What kind of help do you need: Will it be inherited from the previous generation?
Doctor's answer:
If his mother and brother are both mentally impaired, it suggests the possibility of generational reverse inheritance, meaning there is a high likelihood that his brother inherited the mental impairment gene from his mother. Advice: However, your boyfriend does not show signs of dominant generational inheritance of the mental impairment gene, and it is also unknown whether he has a recessive generational inheritance gene. This situation carries the risk of generational inheritance, but the specific probability is difficult to determine. It is recommended to consider this carefully. Doctor's inquiry: Hello, how is there a family history on the side of his mother?
