Is vitiligo hereditary? I don t want to pass it on to my children!

Vitiligo is not a blood disease and is not contagious. Contagion is a parasitic process of pathogens on others. Vitiligo is a disorder of pigment metabolism and is not caused by a pathogen.

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. And because of the dominant and recessive distinction of chromosomes, it also reflects generational inheritance or intergenerational inheritance. Statistically it has been shown that vitiligo has a certain hereditary nature

Vitiligo has a certain hereditary but the probability is very small, as long as it is formed by the combination of internal and external factors in the context of heredity, but as long as the patient is symptomatic, the inheritance of the next generation can be reduced.

There is a certain chance that acquired vitiligo will be inherited.

Vitiligo is a common acquired localized or generalized** depigmentation disorder that is acquired and has a certain chance of being inherited. Modern medicine has proven that deletion in the DNA chain is one of the important causes of vitiligo.

The occurrence of vitiligo is related to genetics, such as parents or brothers, sisters and other immediate family members, so the probability of getting vitiligo will be higher than that of the general population, so vitiligo is related to heredity, but it is not a hereditary disease. Not that parents will have children because they will have them, or there will be a 25%-50% chance that the children will have them, etc. In addition, some autoimmune diseases, such as thyroid disease, may also induce the development of vitiligo.

In addition, environmental factors may also contribute to the occurrence of vitiligo.

The current pathogenesis of vitiligo is not clear, genetics is only one of the aspects, and acquired factors are also very important for the induction of vitiligo, such as the triggers of immune abnormalities, such as sleep, mood, fatigue, etc. Therefore, the onset of vitiligo is not only related to the congenital personal genetic constitution, but also affected by acquired factors. If an immediate family member has a history of vitiligo, it is necessary to pay attention to developing good lifestyle habits to reduce the incidence of vitiligo.

Hello! The chance of heritability of vitiligo is very small, and heredity varies from person to person!

Even acquired ones have a genetic predisposition.

Vitiligo is not a genetic disease, but it has a certain genetic possibility, whether it is a family history or an acquired formation, there may be a chance of heredity, but it is not 100% inherited, and patients affected by genetic factors will cause the disease to occur under the influence of factors such as the surrounding environment and their own physique, so it is usually called nursing and preventive measures.

Most vitiligo patients do not know much about the common sense of vitiligo and pathology, and in the process of prevention and prevention, it is easy to have some wrong cognitions, which will cause unnecessary trouble. Vitiligo is hereditary, and many young people fear that the disease will be passed on to the next generation. Therefore, you will be confused when it comes to giving birth to a baby.

So is acquired sudden vitiligo hereditary? Professionals give relevant answers below.

First of all, acquired sudden vitiligo is usually caused by external factors, such as trauma, sun exposure or endocrine problems. No matter what the cause of vitiligo, the main pathology is related to the abnormal secretion of melanocytes in the body, which is a disease in which melanocytes are reduced or absent, resulting in the phenomenon of local vitiligo. Early vitiligo is not timely or inappropriate, which will lead to the spread of the disease and increase the difficulty.

Secondly, vitiligo is not a genetic disease, but it has a certain genetic possibility. Whether it is a family genetic history or an acquired formation, as long as you have vitiligo, you may inherit it to the next generation, but don't be overly alarmed, the genetic probability of vitiligo is not high, it is understood that the genetic probability of vitiligo in China is only 3%, but it should be noted that vitiligo patients cannot marry vitiligo patients, and the combination of two vitiligo patients will increase the probability of inheritance.

Finally, vitiligo patients also need to pay attention to try not to conceive at the onset of the disease, whether it is male or female vitiligo patients, try to consider pregnancy after the disease, which can reduce the chance of inheritance. Patients with vitiligo should also understand the situation of their children, and stay away from the triggers in their lives, including trauma, sun exposure or diet.

In short, although vitiligo has a certain genetic probability, most vitiligo is affected by the surrounding environment, their own physique and other factors, which leads to the occurrence of vitiligo, and under the effect of these conditions, patients affected by genetic factors will increase the incidence to a certain extent. In order to avoid the hereditary nature of vitiligo, it is necessary to take care of and prevent it in daily life, and people should pay attention to it.

I'm a good vitiligo patient myself. My dad had gray hair at a very young age. But I have several siblings, and I have vitiligo, and my children don't have it. Personally, I believe that vitiligo is hereditary, but at the same time it is a low probability.

Previously consulted a professional doctor with a similar question, doctor specialty:

Vitiligo is a relatively common acquired depigmented mucosal disease, which is not fully understood, but it is determined that genetic factors have a certain relationship with the occurrence of vitiligo. The evidence is multiple:

1. Vitiligo will have a family history and family gathering, and the genetic probability of vitiligo reported abroad is about 20%-40%, and it is about 3%-20% in China.

2. Identical twins suffer from vitiligo at the same time, which also confirms the genetic predisposition to vitiligo.

3. The genetic research of vitiligo has confirmed the susceptibility gene locus of vitiligo, and also confirmed that the occurrence of vitiligo is related to heredity, and heredity is mainly polygenic inheritance, that is, heredity is not the only factor, because the first-degree relatives have vitiligo, and the probability of children suffering from vitiligo is higher than that without a family history of vitiligo, but it is not absolute, acquired environmental factors, including neuropsychiatric factors and autoimmunity, are also involved in the occurrence and development of vitiligo, so vitiligo is a polygenic genetic disease, and there are certain factors in heredity, but not the only and all factors.

Vitiligo runs in families, but it is not a genetic disease.

The onset of vitiligo is indeed related to genetic factors, but it is not a simple monogenic genetic disease, but a complex disease with multiple genes working together, and as many as 50 vitiligo susceptibility genes have been discovered. In the genetic context, a combination of autoimmune abnormalities, oxidative damage, and environmental factors contribute to the onset of vitiligo. Therefore, genetic factors are only one of the factors that affect the onset of the disease.

If a parent has vitiligo, their offspring will have a higher chance of developing vitiligo than the general population, but they will definitely get the disease.

Data Extensions

The treatment of vitiligo is general** such as avoiding precipitating factors, drugs ** such as glucocorticoids, physical **, surgery**, etc.

1.General**: excessive stress, mental tension, trauma, sun exposure, etc. can induce vitiligo, so vitiligo should avoid sun exposure, trauma, maintain a comfortable mood, and at the same time need to supplement vitamin B, vitamin E, etc.

2.Drugs**: For vitiligo, topical glucocorticoids such as hydrocortisone butyrate or tincture can be used to remove whitening, which helps to restore the color of ** and is suitable for advanced skin lesions.

There are also calcineurin inhibitors such as tacrolimus ointment, which has a good effect on the opposite neck. Drugs taken internally include prednisone. Medications should be used under the guidance of a doctor.

3.Physical**: such as 308 excimer laser, suitable for all types of vitiligo**.

4.Surgery**: such as microdermal transplantation, autologous epidermal transplantation, etc. Suitable for stable vitiligo.

Patients with vitiligo are advised to see a doctor in a timely manner, and they need to be regulated under the guidance of a doctor**.

Rest assured, dear.

Vitiligo is not hereditary.

Vitiligo is caused by poor wound management or late stage of insanity**.

Vitiligo is hereditary, and vitiligo patients are only the most important problems, and blood diseases are simply unrelated. Vitiligo can be hereditary, but the heritability is very low. Many people with vitiligo have no family history at all.

So the chances of your child getting a genetic disease are very small. Some have genetic factors but do not develop the disease, while others induce vitiligo because of other factors, so although vitiligo will be inherited, it will not necessarily occur, and genetic factors need to work together with many factors to cause the onset of vitiligo. In this way, it can solve the problem of whether vitiligo will be inherited to the next generation.

For the **sick**, the experts of Binzhou Huahai Hospital told us to go to the regular hospital to find a professional doctor**. Leupilepsy** must be persevered, do not use drugs indiscriminately, and do not follow the doctor's instructions to use drugs, so as to avoid adverse reactions. In this way, it can solve the problem of whether vitiligo will be inherited to the next generation.

Question: Is there a way to stop heredity when you get pregnant?

Question: I heard that the third-generation test tube of Shanghai Renji Hospital North Branch is very powerful.

If you have genetic problems, Shanghai Renji Hospital North Branch will help you do three generations of IVF, and the three generations can remove bad genes.

Vitiligo will have a certain chance of heredity, but the heredity is relatively small, generally about 3%-5%, simple genetic factors do not necessarily cause vitiligo, vitiligo is a combination of internal and external factors in the genetic background. There is a certain correlation between vitiligo and heredity, but genetic factors only account for a small part of the hair hormone. , generally about 3%-5%, environmental factors (such as lifestyle, working environment, eating habits, mental state, air, water sources, etc.) also play an important role.

In general, genetic and environmental factors are present to develop the disease. Even if it is inherited, it is far less likely to be passed on to the next generation than in other genetic disorders, and it is even less common for both the next and lower generations of first-degree relatives to develop the disease.
