Does the occurrence of low intelligence be inherited across generations?

Patient's question:

My uncle's child has congenital intellectual disability. Will my child also be intellectually disabled? Is this condition hereditary across generations?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! Children with congenital intellectual disability may be related to viral infections caused by fetal developmental disorders, brain damage, or intrauterine hypoxia. If it is congenital developmental disorder, it is difficult to treat, but if it is hypoxic brain damage, early intervention and persistent treatment can still lead to better recovery. I don't know how old the child is, it is best to go to a cerebral palsy rehabilitation center for diagnosis and treatment. Integrated Chinese and Western medicine acupuncture treatment.
