Is it hereditary

summary

Although epilepsy is a stubborn disease, it does not mean that it can not be cured. Clinically, all antiepileptic drugs are used to resist seizures by reducing the excitability of brain cells. (brain cells in childhood are at the stage of development). If long-term medication is used, it is easy to cause hypoxia, edema, memory loss, personality change and slow reaction of brain cells. If repeated attacks occur for a long time, it will eventually lead to mental decline and gradually lose the ability to work and even take care of themselves in the later stage. As a relatively complex disease, is it possible to inherit the disease?

Is it hereditary

First: genetic probability statistics of different types of epilepsy: Studies on twin twins suffering from epilepsy show that children with epilepsy have genetic susceptibility. Family analysis and epidemiological survey of patients with epilepsy show that the prevalence of epilepsy in relatives of idiopathic epilepsy is 3.8% - 10.8%, with individual as high as 19.8% - 35%, which is significantly higher than that of symptomatic epilepsy 1% - 4.6%, and the latter is higher than that of ordinary people 3% - 0.6%, and the closer the blood relationship with patients, the higher the prevalence.

Second: epilepsy has a genetic tendency, but it only shows that people with epilepsy genetic quality have low seizure threshold and high susceptibility, and they are prone to epilepsy when they encounter certain environmental factors, and whether the onset is determined by both internal and external factors. In real life, epileptic seizures caused by genetic factors of epilepsy only account for a small part of all epilepsy. Therefore, patients need not worry too much about the genetic factors of epilepsy.

Third: for marriage and childbearing is everyone's right, for patients with epilepsy is the same, there are many people think that patients with epilepsy can not get married and childbearing, think that epilepsy will be inherited, but not all epilepsy will be inherited, some patients with epilepsy through marriage mental state adjustment, but also effectively reduce the disease, for epilepsy genetic problem, I think We need to have a comprehensive understanding of epilepsy.
