Is epilepsy a genetic disorder???

Epilepsy is genetically predisposed, and about 5% of the offspring of epilepsy patients will be affected, so it is recommended that patients have epilepsy after they have been effectively controlled and stopped before giving birth, so as not to affect the health of the next generation.

Hello! Epilepsy is not a genetic disorder, but it has a certain genetic predisposition. Genetic diseases are 100% congenital. It is recommended that patients go to a regular epilepsy hospital for examination to find out the correct and symptomatic symptoms.

Cooperate with good doctors to do a good job, face life with an optimistic attitude, and believe that people will win the day. Good luck soon**! Early detection and early **, once you suffer from epilepsy, do not blindly seek medical treatment, and actively cooperate with experts to better **, and the main attention is to choose a professional and regular doctor.

It's good to know more about epilepsy, and understanding epilepsy starts with understanding the seizure symptoms of epilepsy. Patients with epilepsy should be diagnosed in time and as soon as possible. The earlier the brain damage, the lesser the brain damage, the better the prognosis.

It is necessary to use the drug correctly and reasonably, adjust the dose in time, pay attention to the individual**, the course of treatment should be long, and the drug withdrawal process should be slow and firm.

Hello this friend, epilepsy has the possibility of heredity, but the chance of inheritance is very small, unless both men and women are epilepsy patients, the average epilepsy patient should be able to marry and have children. However, it is also important to have children after the seizures have been fully controlled.

Primary epilepsy is inherited, and epilepsy is divided into primary epilepsy and secondary epilepsy. Primary epilepsy is at a young age of onset, generally in childhood and childhood, primary epilepsy has a certain genetic predisposition, this part of the population may have a family history, if parents, brothers, sisters or relatives are diagnosed with epilepsy, they also have epilepsy, the possibility of primary hereditary epilepsy is relatively large. Professionally, certain types of epilepsy tend to run in families, such as temporal lobe epilepsy, progressive myoclonic epilepsy, and some febrile seizures with epilepsy are also more easily inherited.

If more than one of the parents, siblings, or relatives is diagnosed with epilepsy, and the person has epilepsy themselves, it is more likely to be inherited. From a professional point of view, some types of epilepsy are more likely to run in families, such as temporal lobe epilepsy, progressive myogram twin epilepsy, and some febrile seizures with epilepsy are also relatively easy to inherit. Secondary epilepsy is generally caused by other reasons such as cerebral infarction, traumatic brain injury, brain tumor, etc., and mostly occurs in adults, and secondary epilepsy is generally not inherited.

Another type of epilepsy is secondary epilepsy, which is mostly caused by other causes such as cerebral infarction, traumatic brain injury, and brain tumor. Secondary epilepsy usually occurs later in adulthood, and secondary epilepsy is not inherited. If epilepsy patients take medication regularly and according to the doctor's instructions for a long time, the epilepsy of the vast majority of patients can be ** or controlled, and it will not affect their health.

Epilepsy does have a certain genetic probability, but it is not 100% hereditary or intergenerational. In contrast, families with a genetic history of epilepsy have a higher chance of hereditary disease. In addition, if both parents have epilepsy, the probability of inheritance is also higher.

Epilepsy is hereditary. There are many causes of epilepsy, and one of them is genetic. For example, benign familial neonatal seizures are an autosomal dominant disorder.

Epilepsy has certain genetic factors, if one of the parents is an epilepsy patient, the child's chance of epilepsy is naturally higher, and both parents have epilepsy, then the child's genetic probability is higher.

Epilepsy is hereditary, and if one or both parents have epilepsy, it should be taken seriously. During the preparation for pregnancy, it is important to control the condition well. In particular, children are in the stage of growth and development, and their bodies are relatively fragile, and they are especially prone to epilepsy due to bacterial invasion leading to meningitis during fever.

Some studies suggest that some epilepsy disorders may be inherited. However, whether the disease will occur after inheritance is related to factors such as life environment and personal experience.

Hello! Experts from Hangzhou Chang'an Epilepsy Institute explained:

There are so many triggers for epilepsy that many people with epilepsy do not think that epilepsy is a genetic disease. But.

It is now widely believed that epilepsy is inherited. But not every type of epilepsy does.

Heredity. There are many different types of epilepsy, and most epilepsy is acquired. Some epilepsy is inherited.

predisposition, but heritability is not very certain. Studies of twin twins with epilepsy have shown that children with epilepsy have a trail.

Transmission of susceptibility, family analysis and epidemiological surveys of patients with epilepsy have shown that relatives with idiopathic epilepsy have epilepsy.

The rate, individually high, is significantly higher than the 1% rate of symptomatic epilepsy, which in turn is higher.

The prevalence is high among the general population, and the closer the blood relationship to the patient, the higher the prevalence. on the data sheet.

Clearly, epilepsy has a genetic predisposition, but this only indicates that people with genetic predisposition have a low seizure threshold and a high susceptibility.

Seizures are more likely to occur when certain environmental factors occur, and the onset of seizures is determined by both internal and external factors.

Epilepsy is inherited.

Genetic factors are an important cause of epilepsy, especially idiopathic epilepsy. Molecular genetic studies have found that some of the molecular mechanisms of hereditary epilepsy are structural or functional changes in ion channels or related molecules.

Depending on the type of epilepsy that causes it, it can be divided into idiopathic epilepsy syndromes, symptomatic epilepsy syndromes, and possibly symptomatic epilepsy syndromes.

Is epilepsy hereditary? This is a social issue that many people are concerned about. Because epilepsy is genetic, this problem involves a series of social issues such as dating, love, marriage, and childbirth, and it is also the most concerned issue for many family members and patients.

There are quite a few forms of epilepsy itself, and there are many genetic causes of epilepsy, and some epilepsy does have a genetic predisposition, but most do not. Generally speaking, if one of the parents is an epilepsy patient, the probability of epilepsy in children is naturally higher, if both parents have epilepsy, the probability is higher, in any case, the most important thing is to diagnose what type of epilepsy you are first, in order to assess whether the probability of the baby's genetic epilepsy is high, so it is necessary to treat the problem of epilepsy genetics correctly.

Epilepsy that can be inherited is most likely to be "good epilepsy".

Primary epilepsy. The genetic causes of epilepsy are: birth trauma, congenital brain development abnormalities, central nervous system infection, and very rarely inborn metabolic abnormalities, head injuries, brain tumors, and strokes. Therefore, the causes of epilepsy are divided into two categories: one is secondary to a certain brain lesion.

Secondary epilepsy, the second is that no cause can be found.

Primary epilepsy.

Inherited epilepsy falls into the latter category.

Yang Quanxing, director of Beijing Haihua Epilepsy Hospital, put forward unique insights on the genetics of epilepsy. Director Yang believes that epilepsy is hereditary and not so alarmist.

About a quarter to more than half of primary epilepsy is inherited, meaning it runs in families. Primary epilepsy syndromes with genetic traits include: childhood absence epilepsy, benign childhood brain ** and temporal spike wave epilepsy, juvenile muscle convulsive epilepsy, juvenile absence epilepsy, etc.

But as long as you find the right hospital, distinguish the type, be timely, and the method is accurate, about 80 patients can be completely controlled and can get married and have children, and you don't have to be bothered by the useless question of is epilepsy genetic.

In real life, genetic causes of epilepsy account for only a small percentage of epilepsy, and patients do not need to worry too much about the genetics of epilepsy. Epilepsy is not a genetic disease, but it has a genetic predisposition, in other words, the parents have epilepsy, the children do not necessarily have epilepsy, but the parents have epilepsy, and their children are 2-4 times more likely to develop epilepsy than the normal population. Some types of epilepsy may be tested for genetics to guide fertility.

In general, only 5% of children of epilepsy patients develop epilepsy, and the impact on the fetus is mainly from the mother, and the father with epilepsy is generally not inherited. Yes, go to a hospital specializing in epilepsy, and it is estimated that it can be cured.

Hello, epilepsy is a phenomenon caused by abnormal firing of brain nerve cells, and patients with epilepsy generally have a certain genetic predisposition, but it is not absolute. It is important for patients to stabilize their condition for a period of time before becoming pregnant, and only after the advice of a specialist doctor can they consider pregnancy, otherwise the chances of inheritance will increase. If you still have any questions that you don't understand, please feel free to consult Director Qin Qirong, and I wish you a speedy day.

No, epilepsy should be acquired, and there should be no relationship with family genetics, if you are worried, check the family book to see if there are such cases.

One of the parents has epilepsy and has a genetic predisposition to have a child, but not necessarily absolutely. It is possible to do preventive work in advance to reduce the heritability, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination, and it is not impossible to reduce the chance of heredity under the guidance of a doctor.

What is the cause of acquired epilepsy, most epilepsy is not inherited, and does epilepsy occur after giving birth to a child or before it? Theoretically, acquired epilepsy is not inherited. If you don't control the seizures, it will cause damage to the patient's brain, and the seizures will cause dementia, memory loss, and acquired epilepsy can be **, and the acquired factors that can cause epilepsy are:

Brain injury factors, age factors, endocrine disorders, various predisposing factors. Go to the hospital**.

Hello! Epilepsy has a hereditary predisposition, but the effect on the next generation is not 100%. In general, only 5% of children of people with epilepsy have epilepsy, so people with epilepsy can have children.

However, from the perspective of eugenics, it is best for epilepsy patients to avoid marrying people with low convulsive thresholds, and epilepsy patients should have children after their condition is stable and their seizures are basically controlled. In addition, the impact on the fetus mainly comes from the mother, and the father with epilepsy is generally not inherited, I wish you good health!

Studies have shown that most scholars believe that epilepsy is hereditary. According to statistics, the prevalence of the general population is about. Among relatives of patients with primary epilepsy, the prevalence is 2 to 6 percent, which is 4 times higher than the prevalence of epilepsy in the general population.

The prevalence of the disease is also higher in family members of patients with secondary epilepsy than in the general population, and the prevalence is higher with closer blood relations.

Primary epilepsy has a genetic predisposition, secondary epilepsy is not inherited, epilepsy can be strictly taboo, the key is to taboo, epilepsy time is mainly determined by the condition.

Epilepsy is hereditary, but not 100% hereditary, as an epilepsy patient should try to avoid it, if you want to avoid epilepsy inheritance, you should pay attention to the following points:

1. Remarry and have children when the disease is well controlled. When the attacks are frequent and the illness is severe, it is not appropriate to consider marriage and childbearing. Seizures can lead to a lack of oxygen throughout the body, which further affects the lack of oxygen to the fetus and affects the normal development of the fetus.

In addition, in the active phase of epilepsy, the anti-epileptic drugs taken by patients are very toxic, which may lead to fetal hypoplasia and may also lead to fetal malformations.

2. If the epilepsy patient is pregnant, then it should be noted that bad emotions will induce epilepsy, when the patient is under great physical and mental pressure, it is very detrimental to the stability of the condition, and the epilepsy patient should pay more attention to regulating his emotions, and when encountering difficulties or questions, it is very important to get professional guidance from the doctor in time.

3. Diagnosis should be made during childbirth. Since epilepsy is hereditary, it is important to do a good job of various examinations in the early stages of pregnancy, and do not ignore this genetic characteristic of epilepsy, so as not to have a greater impact on the future of the child. Women who are taking anti-epileptic medications should not breastfeed.

Babies excrete drugs slowly, are more vulnerable, and can do a lot of harm if they eat milk that contains anti-epileptic drugs.

4. Avoid marrying someone with a family history of epilepsy. or a person with a congenital disease as a spouse. Generally speaking, when choosing a marriage partner, the fiancé (wife) of an epilepsy patient should have an electroencephalogram examination before marriage, and people with a family history of epilepsy should avoid marriage, otherwise, their children will be greatly affected by genetic factors, and the incidence of epilepsy will increase significantly.

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder, epilepsy is hereditary, but not 100%, and it is related to gender and gender. Female epilepsy is higher than male epilepsy, and primary epilepsy is higher than secondary epilepsy. In general, only 5% of children of people with epilepsy have epilepsy

Epilepsy is a kind of neurological disease, divided into primary congenital and secondary, the pathogenesis of congenital epilepsy is not clear, but it has a lot to do with genetic factors. Secondary epilepsy is mainly caused by neuropathy of the brain in infancy and early childhood, such as perinatal and intrapartum infections, febrile seizure sequelae, encephalitis, etc. In addition, a large number of studies have proved that in the presence of genetic factors for the onset of epilepsy, acquired factors will greatly increase the incidence of epilepsy.

However, epilepsy also has a certain common age of onset, mainly in infancy and early childhood, and if there are no obvious symptoms after this period, the chance of onset in adulthood will be much smaller.

If you have any concerns about this, it is recommended to go to a specialized hospital for examination and consultation.
