Is silkworm bean disease necessarily hereditary?
Answer: first of all, understand what is genetic disease. Hereditary diseases refer to diseases caused by changes in genetic material or controlled by pathogenic genes. Hereditary diseases refer to diseases that are completely or partially determined by genetic factors, often congenital or acquired. Such as congenital stupidity, polydactyly, congenital deafness and hemophilia. These genetic diseases are completely determined by genetic factors. They do not occur until a certain time after birth, and sometimes it takes years, decades or even decades to show obvious symptoms. Silkworm bean disease is caused by lack of glucose 6- phosphate dehydrogenase. Silkworm bean disease is an incomplete dominant sex-linked genetic disease, and the pathological gene is located on the X chromosome. The son accepts his father's Y chromosome and his mother's X chromosome. If the mother is the carrier of pathogenic genes, that is, one X chromosome of the mother is normal and the other X chromosome has pathogenic genes, then the mother is normal and the son may get sick. The daughter receives an X chromosome from her father and an X chromosome from her mother. As long as her father is normal, she will have a normal X chromosome and won't get sick. So men are more perverted. There is no need to argue about this, because it is incomplete dominant inheritance, and it is difficult to infer which parent the disease-causing gene comes from. Unless you do genetic testing, you must find out. This is unnecessary. The key is to prevent the outbreak of silkworm bean disease. Children's health and family harmony are the most important.
