Is epilepsy hereditary? Can I get married?

Epilepsy may be hereditary, but if you have epilepsy, you must be in time, because he will have irregular seizures, and it is also very serious, and the best way now is oral medication or surgery. You can go to the hospital for a check-up first, and then make a plan after listening to the clinician's opinion.

Epilepsy is inherited. According to experts, although epilepsy is a common disease, epilepsy is a collection of diseases, including many different types of seizures, many patients are not very clear about the issue of epilepsy genetics, there is no shortage of epilepsy patients around us, and sometimes we can also see seizures in epilepsy patients, which is really frightening.

Regarding the question of "is epilepsy inherited", many scholars at home and abroad have conducted studies from many aspects, such as the prevalence of epilepsy family members of different **, the prevalence of epilepsy relatives of different types of epilepsy, the consistency rate of seizure types and premonitory seizure types of epilepsy family members, family electroencephalography, the consistency rate of epilepsy incidence in twin sons, and chromosomal research of epilepsy families.

Therefore, the unanimous conclusion to the question of "is epilepsy hereditary" is that epilepsy has a familial cluster, that is, there is a genetic predisposition to epilepsy, not only for primary epilepsy, but also for secondary epilepsy.

Through the investigation of epilepsy families in China, it is found that the prevalence of first-degree relatives of epilepsy patients is about 1% to 5%. The prevalence in relatives of patients is 5 to 10 times higher than in the normal population.

The prevalence of first-degree relatives in patients with primary epilepsy is higher than that of secondary epilepsy. The prevalence is higher in primary patients than in parents and siblings, and in patients with secondary epilepsy, the incidence is also significantly higher than in the general population.

Experts point out that if you want to avoid such problems, you must go to the hospital for an examination and follow the doctor's instructions. And if you want to really stay away from epilepsy, you need to be timely**. Patients should insist on the first time, through regular hospital examinations, adjust the first plan of epilepsy, more effective ** at the same time, there will be ** ***, help us safe** epilepsy.

Comprehensive epilepsy, prevention and treatment is also the key: epilepsy should be reasonably selected comprehensive plan. And patients should maintain a good and stable state of mind, overcome bad emotions, eat scientifically, and take reasonable and lasting self-care, which is the key method of epilepsy.

I believe that now we have a clear answer to the question of whether epilepsy will be hereditary, I hope the above introduction can help you, here experts remind that secondary epilepsy is extremely harmful to the human body, so patients must go to a regular hospital in time**.

Due to the large number of epilepsy and the different types of seizures, it is difficult to completely give each patient an accurate conclusion, but epilepsy does have a certain genetic predisposition, but the probability of heredity is different. According to the patient's family history, age of onset, type of onset and electroencephalogram and other comprehensive judgments, a preliminary diagnosis is given. Genetic and chromosomal testing may be considered if necessary.

Hello friend, I'm a neurologist, and I'm here to tell you this question. What we commonly refer to as epilepsy is a chronic disease in which neurons in the brain suddenly and abnormally discharge, resulting in transient brain dysfunction. Primary epilepsy is hereditary, some are monogenic and some are polygenic, but not necessarily all have clinical seizures.

Hope it helps.

When it comes to the inheritance of epilepsy, different types of epilepsy can be inherited in different ways. According to research, many types of epilepsy are polygenic inheritance, and seizures are either a symptom of a monogenic inherited disease, or autosomal dominant inheritance, and people in the upper and lower generations of immediate family members suffer from epilepsy; Autosomal recessive inheritance, no epilepsy in both parents, but cases in the previous generation; And also.

X-sex linkage recessive inheritance, women are carriers and do not develop the disease, but the son may develop the disease after marriage. In short, the genetic research of epilepsy has confirmed that the essence of heredity is genetic defects, but the genetic defect sites of various types of epilepsy are at the **, what is the mode of action of genes, and it is hoped that there will be further breakthrough discoveries in the future.
