    The so-called heredity, simply put, is the embodiment of the signs of the previous generation in the next generation through the genes in the DNA. Due to the dominant and recessive nature of chromosomes, there is generational inheritance and intergenerational inheritance. From clinical statistics, vitiligo has a certain hereditary nature, but the proportion is small, accounting for only about 4% of the incidence of vitiligo, which is only the existence of vitiligo, environment, mental status, work type, lifestyle in the incidence of vitiligo has its important influence.

    Hello, vitiligo will have a certain chance of heredity, but the heredity is relatively small, generally about 3%-5%, simple genetic factors do not necessarily suffer from vitiligo, vitiligo is in the genetic background, the combination of internal and external factors, environmental factors (such as lifestyle, working environment, eating habits, mental state, air, water, etc.) also play an important role. In general, genetic and environmental factors are present to develop the disease. Good luck soon**!

    Vitiligo is a polygenic genetic disease that is closely related to the patient's own immunity, and this problem is caused by many factors, such as environment, mental condition, type of work, lifestyle, etc. It is true that vitiligo will have a certain heritability, but the heritability is very low. Genetic factors need to work together with many factors to cause the onset of vitiligo, and patients do not need to worry too much.

    You can also treat vitiligo ** first and then have children.

    Vitiligo is genetically predisposed. If there is a history of vitiligo in the family, then the probability of developing vitiligo is higher than that of other people, but it does not mean that vitiligo will be inherited, and the probability of inheriting vitiligo is still relatively low. Foreign scholars reported 18-38% and 5-15% in China, with autosomal dominant inheritance with different penetrance.

    The onset of vitiligo is the result of a multi-factor comprehensive effect, people with a family history of vitiligo usually pay attention to maintaining a happy mood, learn to release work and mental pressure, pay attention to regular diet, balanced nutrition, regular work and rest, appropriate exercise, enhance resistance, pay attention to sunscreen when going out, and avoid sun exposure, which will reduce the probability of vitiligo.
