Question
What will happen to the child if a normal man marries a woman who is born with intellectual disability? How will it affect the next generation? What is the probability of intellectual disability?
Answer
If there is no genetic intellectual disability gene, the woman can produce normal ova, and generally would not give birth to a sick offspring. It is suggested that there is no need to be overly concerned and it is recommended to go to the hospital for a detailed examination. The general health condition of a woman during her perinatal period usually does not have a negative impact on her offspring. If a child’s intelligence is threatened by intellectual disability, family members must take their child to a doctor immediately for treatment and avoid using blind medication to alleviate symptoms. For parents, it is important to pay close attention to any changes in their child’s symptoms and do their best to help their child receive timely medical treatment.
