Patient's question:
The son of the younger sister's brother is 18 years old and still cannot stand straight. There are some abnormal phenomena in the chest. Later, it was found through careful examination that it was caused by hereditary rickets. Is this serious? What kind of generational inheritance does it have?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, this disease is often more common in infants and young children, with a higher risk of intergenerational inheritance. This dominant hemolytic disease gene will be transmitted along with the chromosome, leading to the onset of the disease. The onset is not very obvious. Once a family history is confirmed, genetic diagnosis needs to be carried out. After confirming the mutation, prenatal genetic diagnosis can be used to prevent the birth of affected children.
