Silkworm bean disease is a hereditary disease on the X chromosome, which is inherited by sex-linked incompleteness. Although men are more likely to get sick, this disease is not necessarily passed on to children. Female carriers can pass on the disease genes to the next generation, while male patients are more likely to pass on the abnormal X chromosome to their sons, leading to their sons' illness.

Men are more likely to get sick

Although it is not necessarily passed on to children, men are more likely to get sick. If the father suffers from silkworm bean disease, the risk of his son's illness will be higher.

Genetic risk of female carriers

Female carriers can pass on the gene of silkworm disease to the next generation, but only half of their daughters will carry recessive genes. Therefore, the genetic risk of female carriers is relatively low. Children may not inherit the disease

If you have the disease, your children may not inherit it. Genetic risk depends on parents' genetic conditions, so it is necessary to have genetic counseling and take corresponding preventive measures according to doctors' suggestions. Avoid eating taboos

For adults, silkworm bean disease has no great influence on daily life, just avoid using taboo foods. If you are worried about passing it on to your child, you can have genetic counseling before pregnancy and take corresponding preventive measures according to the doctor's advice.
