Patient's question:
Listen to my good friend talk about a disease called dominant hypophosphatemic rickets. He said this disease is usually inherited from parents to children over generations, causing the child to inherit the disease over generations. Does this disease really cause inheritance over generations?Doctor's answer:
With this type of overt hypophosphatemic rickets, the current level of medical technology cannot cure it. We can only adopt many preventive measures, such as ensuring your diet contains plenty of calcium and vitamin D. It is also beneficial to get plenty of sunlight, which helps in the absorption of calcium. This disease can be inherited across generations to the next generation. If you want to have children, it is recommended that you adopt a child. This way, the disease will never be passed down across generations again.
