Patient's question:
My husband has had allergic asthma since he was a child. Now, after many years, he has been taking medication to control the condition, but it hasn't improved much. He's a bit worried about the genetic issue when he wants to have a child. His mother says asthma is hereditary, but his asthma isn't congenital.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the genetics of allergic asthma are generally related to lifestyle and genes. Currently, there is no professional judgment that can directly determine whether a child can inherit it. However, there is a certain probability of inheritance, and it is not a 100% either way—either it is inherited or it is not.
