Can epilepsy be inherited

summary

A neighbor of mine has epilepsy, and his son is approaching the age of marriage. His son has not yet found this history, so his father is worried that his son's children will inherit epilepsy. Later, they have their own children within one year of marriage. In order to let the family know more clearly whether epilepsy will be inherited, let me share with you.

Can epilepsy be inherited

First, female patients with epilepsy have a certain genetic tendency, seizures will lead to body hypoxia, fetal hypoxia will be more serious, it will be very adverse to the development of the fetus, epilepsy patients when the seizure of the whole body will keep twitching, it is easy to lead to abortion, although taking antiepileptic drugs to control seizures, but most of the antiepileptic drugs will lead to abnormal Therefore, it is suggested that epilepsy patients should give birth after epilepsy is effectively controlled and drug withdrawal.

Second, male epilepsy has certain heredity, but does not mean that male patients with epilepsy can not bear. Relevant data show that epilepsy is hereditary. The study of twin twins suffering from epilepsy shows that patients with epilepsy have genetic susceptibility. The consistency of monozygotic twins is about 6 times that of dizygotic twins. There are significant differences in the consistency of the two diseases and the consistency of seizure types. As long as male patients with epilepsy exclude the above possible factors, fertility is no problem.

Third, epilepsy may not be inherited from other generations, but some parents do not have epilepsy, but the baby will also have epilepsy for some reason, so it can not be said that even if your husband and wife do not have your children, this is not guaranteed, but even if they do, don't worry, epilepsy can still be treated.
