Do Birth defects are inherited?

The question swirling in the mind of multiple folks is this do all the genetic diseases are inherited?

Allow me to share my thoughts!

As we all know very well; during the process of embryo formation; half of the parental genes are being transferred to the daughter chromosome; any changeover, in this case, will cause mutation which can be termed as syndrome!

Example; Down's syndrome; Klinefelter syndrome etc; but the transfer of disease can be either on the X or Y chromosome;

Did you know XX chromosome indicates the female and XY demonstrates the ♂ male sex; let me simplify the case; if the offspring has got abnormality in the genes it would run in generations; for example; Sickel cell anemia; hemophilia; color blindness but if the environmental factors have caused this mutation if wouldn't be transferred to upcoming generation;

What are the environmental causes?

  • Radiation;

The main justification for the genetic defect is the harmful radiation which is either emitted from gadgets or other apparatuses; maybe even the solar radiation can cause mutation in genetic makeup;

  • Alcohol;

Recently researchers have studied this point that input of alcohol and drugs can result in abnormality in the fetus;

During the second and third trimesters when the organ formation is occurring; drug abuse can unsettle this procedure too the outcomes will be birth defects.

  • Stress and anxiety;

Many people would renounce this point but it's logical; in stress, the hormonal imbalance can occur which will not only sicken the health of the mother but also the fetus would have to encounter problems.

Although diagnosis before the birth of the baby is available I precaution is better than cure;

I would further explain these genetic disorders in details so stay tuned;
