Patient's question:
My child was carefully examined at the hospital and diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Now my husband and I are preparing to conceive our second child, but I'm very worried that the second child might also experience the same condition. Can cerebral palsy be inherited across generations?Doctor's answer:
The recurrence of cerebral palsy is related to many factors, the most common of which is infectious diseases during pregnancy, maternal illnesses, newborn respiratory distress, and newborn jaundice. However, some cerebral palsy is also caused by chromosomal abnormalities. If it is caused by chromosomal abnormalities, it may have a certain hereditary tendency across generations. Except for other factors, it is generally not hereditary across generations. The above is advice on this issue, hoping it helps you.
