Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended checking with a neurology department. Can moyamoya disease be inherited by children?Doctor's answer:
Moyamoya disease is a condition with potential generational inheritance, but it does not necessarily mean it will reappear in subsequent generations. The probability of children of moyamoya disease patients developing the disease is 37 times higher than that of children of healthy individuals. Currently, it is believed that moyamoya disease is usually associated with abnormalities in chromosome 3, chromosome 6, and partial abnormalities in chromosome 17. Although there is a generational inheritance tendency, it does not mean that one cannot have children. Children of moyamoya disease patients should pay special attention to cerebral vascular screening.
