Patient's question:
The child of my neighbor's sister is a patient with intellectual disability. I want to understand what kind of impacts it has. Could you please tell me what precautions should be taken when caring for someone with intellectual disability?Doctor's answer:
For the question of whether intellectual disability is inherited from grandparents, you can refer to the following content, which may help you understand it clearly:1. The main genetic abnormalities are genetic gene abnormalities. Chromosomal abnormalities can lead to developmental disorders of the nervous system, malformations, and hereditary metabolic defects, especially a wide variety of metabolic defects. Most conditions are rare diseases.
2. During pregnancy, if the mother is infected, exposed to radiation (e.g., abdominal radiation), certain medications, or toxic substances, it may cause intellectual disability.
