Question
Does dominant hypophosphatemic rickets really inherit across generations?
Answer
Dominant hypophosphatemic rickets does indeed pass on to the next generation. While medical science has not yet found a cure for this condition, there are preventive measures that can be taken, such as ensuring a diet that is rich in calcium and vitamin D, and getting adequate sunlight to enhance calcium absorption. If you are worried about passing on this disease to your child, adoption might be an option to consider, ensuring that the condition is not passed down to the next generation.
