    Hello, glad to answer for you.

    First of all, from the medical clinical statistics, vitiligo has a certain hereditary nature, but the proportion is small, accounting for only 4% of the incidence of vitiligo, which is only the factor of vitiligo, and the environment, mental condition, type of work, and lifestyle have an important impact on the incidence of vitiligo.

    Warm reminder:] If you suffer from vitiligo, please do not go to the doctor and take medicine indiscriminately, if the symptoms are not right, the condition may be delayed and the effect will not be good. Please go to a regular specialist hospital for examination**.

    You can also provide me with a detailed condition for targeted analysis and answers, I wish you a speedy **!

    Vitiligo has a certain hereditary nature, according to clinical statistics, the probability of heredity is generally about 4%-7%, the probability is relatively small, and heredity is only the existence factor of vitiligo, environment, mental status, work type, lifestyle have an important impact on the onset of vitiligo. It should be noted that vitiligo patients should try not to look for the same vitiligo object.

    There is a certain chance of hereditary disease, but it is mostly related to the environment, such as life, diet and other aspects. It is recommended to have children after ** so as not to pass it on to children.

    Hello, I am happy to answer for you, there are many factors that cause vitiligo, and genetic factors are also one of the sayings, however, if it is not a genetic disease, then, this disease will not be inherited to the next generation, so, if it is not a family genetic disease, then, vitiligo will not be inherited to the baby, at the same time, in general, only when genetic factors and other external factors exist at the same time, the baby is likely to suffer from vitiligo, so what parents need to do is to take good care of the baby. 6

    Vitiligo marks are obvious, easy to attract people's attention, easy to cause people's criticism and disdain, and the disease is mostly young men and women, so whether vitiligo patients can marry and have children and whether they will be passed on to the next generation after marriage is every vitiligo.

    Questions that patients and their families are desperate to know. For example, we often encounter this situation, young men and women in love, once they find out that the other person has vitiligo, the flame of love will be quickly extinguished. There are personal reasons for this, but there are also many people who succumb to the pressure of family and friends who believe that the offspring of vitiligo patients will inevitably develop vitiligo.

    In fact, this is a misunderstanding caused by a lack of understanding of the onset of vitiligo.

    As previously introduced, the ** and pathogenesis of vitiligo have not yet been fully understood. Although some studies believe that vitiligo has a certain genetic background, and there are reports of both monozygotic twins, it is suggested that vitiligo may be caused by an autosomal dominant gene abnormality. However, from a genetic point of view, heredity is only one factor in the onset of vitiligo, in addition, environmental factors (including lifestyle, work, study environment, dietary habits, mental state, air, water sources, etc.) also play an important role, and generally must be present under the conditions of both genetic factors and environmental factors.

    Therefore, even if there are genetic factors, as long as the influence of environmental factors is eliminated, the disease may not occur, not to mention that genetic factors and environmental factors are different from person to person. According to relevant reports, the incidence of vitiligo patients with family members is very small, and it is even less common for those with immediate relatives of the upper and lower generations.

    Therefore, in general, vitiligo is not passed on to the next generation as much as other genetic diseases. Therefore, vitiligo patients can marry and have children. In addition, children of vitiligo patients should pay attention to their eating habits, life, study and the combination of work and rest as soon as possible, and do not have a psychological burden, so that the probability of developing the disease will be greatly reduced.

    Vitiligo can be passed on to the next generation. The expression of vitiligo genes manifests as local abnormal melanocyte function, and the onset of vitiligo occurs when melanin is completely destroyed. However, the onset of vitiligo is mainly caused by acquired environmental factors, such as exposure to chemical substances, environmental pollution or staying up late to work hard, abnormal mental and neurological state or drinking alcohol, and eating seafood irregularly.

    In addition, it may also be related to the use of immune drugs or immune disease states, so the onset of vitiligo is mainly the first disease caused by acquired environmental factors, and there is a certain relationship with heredity.

    Vitiligo** is very complex and has many types, but no clear cause has been studied clinically. Its ** is not easy to determine, so its ** is also more difficult. Among them, heredity is one of the common factors for vitiligo, but its heritability is low.

    If there is a similar disease in the family, it may be hereditary, but the disease is not necessarily inherited.

    Vitiligo often occurs in the patient's immediate family, which reminds us that the development of vitiligo may be related to genetic factors. The more distant the blood relationship, the lower the probability of developing the disease. In addition, vitiligo patients and their relatives are also at increased risk of other autoimmune diseases, including thyroid disease, rheumatoid arthritis, connective tissue disease, alopecia areata, etc., but it doesn't matter, early detection, early diagnosis, early **, generally can, so it is recommended that patients actively cooperate**, improve their concentration in life, and avoid ** again**!

    The genetic probability of vitiligo is relatively small, generally about 3 5, and simple genetic factors do not necessarily cause vitiligo, vitiligo is a combination of internal and external factors in the genetic background.

    Such as lifestyle, working environment, eating habits, mental state, air, water source, etc.) Even if it is inherited, it is far less likely to be passed on to the next generation than in other genetic diseases, and it is even less common for both the next and lower generations of first-degree relatives to develop the disease.

    Vitiligo has certain genetic factors, but patients should not panic, if it is a stable period to have a child, the genetic probability is not 2%-4%.

    Therefore, if it is a developmental stage, it is recommended to have children in time** and control the condition.

    Vitiligo will be hereditary, vitiligo in China has a genetic probability of 2-4%, vitiligo has a certain genetic background, may be caused by an autosomal dominant gene abnormality, but from a genetic point of view, heredity is only a factor in the onset of vitiligo.

    To be precise, vitiligo is related to genetic factors, but it is not that parents have vitiligo, children will definitely have vitiligo, because according to studies, parents have vitiligo, and the probability of children suffering from vitiligo is only 3% to 7%. Vitiligo is a combination of internal and external causes of hypopigmentation in a genetic background, and parents have vitiligo, but children do not necessarily suffer from vitiligo.

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 is not contagious.

However, among the family members of vitiligo patients, the incidence is that the probability of occurrence between the direct line is greater, and the probability of vitiligo being passed on to offspring is not as great as that of other diseases. The inheritance of vitiligo is passed on to offspring because of the combination of chromosomes, and if there are chromosomes that are recessive, it will not show up as having vitiligo, otherwise there will be white patches. >>>More
