Heredity and Autism
Source
It is always imagined that when we talk about inheritance we talk about money, goods, jewels, properties, etc. But in a moment we fall that we can inherit some other things that are not as "cool" as the physical ones.
Diseases, of all kinds that are transmitted from generation to generation, and ting¡¡¡¡ comes a time when they knock on the door. The same thing happens with autism, it suddenly appears and in some cases they start to see the chain of behavior of the brother, the father, the uncle, the grandfather... and they come to the conclusion of the existence of autism by inheritance.
The cause of ASD is still unknown, there is no scientific basis (there are many and some of them are well known) but not yet verified, vaccines, antibiotics, emotional and environmental factors, and some others that are part of the great mystery of the origin of autism, but the only one that is strong and more than proven is hereditary.
This genetic predisposition is not 100% certain, we would speak as the lottery of birth in ASD, because this is not based on the theories of Mendel or that chromosomes are crossed, they are only genetic accidents at the time of fertilization of the sperm and egg.
There are theories of a gene lodged in the long arm of the chromosome, which may be linked to the development of autism, since a kind of mutation is found, but, it is not entirely valid, it will take a few years and millions of dollars to give an important weight to this theory, and a phrase that I read and caught my attention, "These mutations are not inherited, but occur in the mother's egg or the father's sperm (before conception) or in the child (after conception)".
For the time being, women of childbearing age who are looking for a baby should always eat a good diet, take folic acid, which has been proven to have an impact on the neurological development of the child, and take multivitamins.
Autism and heredity go hand in hand but so far only 45% is equivalent to the total number of diagnoses, the rest is still expected.
See you next time
Hello friend, it is certainly what is known so far, or is the most accurate theory, but unfortunately as they say out there is a matter of luck, sometimes we do not get a reason or logic to these diseases, for that reason independently we must take care and try to be healthy if we want to be parents to provide the best of us. Greetings!
In the case of autism it is not a matter of taking care or not, they are simply neurological games that we all escape, and it is not a disease, it is a disorder, thank you.
I believe that genetic predisposition manifests itself in many other things that are also considered as diseases such as diabetes, but that is another matter, and if we can see how it has manifested itself in relatives such as you mention, uncles, grandparents or siblings and somehow it continues to be transmitted from generation to generation,
That's exactly right, thanks for commenting
Hello, certainly nutrition and vitamin supplementation are essential in the stage of pregnancy, as it decreases the risks that the child after birth may suffer some neurological pathology.
Greetings and thank you for your valuable contribution.
Yes, it is important to educate in pregnancy, thank you.
Heredity refers to the genetic heritage passed down by our biological parents. It's why we look like them! More specifically, it is the transmission of traits from one generation to the next. These traits can be physical, such as eye colour, blood type or a disease, or behavioural. I think the writer up is precise nice one thanks.
Yes we all know about the hereditary disey which is transferred from one generation to the another like white spots on skins , diabetes etc sooner or later we will find cure for this problem also science bis doing huge advancement.
Every contribution is important, greetings.
