What are the Diseases Caused by Generational Inheritance? Is Diabetes a Generational Inheritance Disease?

Question

What are the diseases caused by generational inheritance? Do both close and distant marriages lead to generational inheritance diseases? Is diabetes a generational inheritance disease?

Answer

From a genetic perspective, the transmission of disease-causing genes is passed down through generations. If an individual does not inherit a specific disease-causing gene from their parents, their offspring generally do not have to worry about inheriting the genetic disease associated with it. Sex-linked genetic diseases have the characteristic of generational inheritance, often transmitted through females, affecting males, and although daughters may not be affected, they are carriers of the disease-causing gene, which can be passed on to male grandchildren. Diabetes is related to genetic factors, and if both parents are diabetic, the risk of their children developing the disease is significantly higher.
