Patient's question:
Expert, does a child's gene mutate? This condition has been going on for a long time, and I hope the doctor can help me. Do I need to go to the hospital for treatment? How long will the treatment take to work? Please help me!Doctor's answer:
If you have studied biology, you know that our mitochondria are inherited from our mothers. For those with a family history, if it is confirmed that deafness is caused by drug poisoning, the best way to avoid toxic deafness is to avoid using such drugs. The likelihood of genetic mutation inheritance is very high. As long as you do not come into contact with these drugs, this phenotype will not be expressed. This is the principle of genes + environment = phenotype.
