Question
Is cerebral palsy caused by generational inheritance?
Answer
Generational inheritance may be a cause of cerebral palsy, accounting for about 40%. Studies have shown that the risk of giving birth to a child with cerebral palsy is higher for women who have already had one, which may be related to genetic factors. Additionally, the incidence of cerebral palsy in monozygotic twins is lower than in dizygotic twins, suggesting a genetic component. However, family environment factors or other biological factors may also influence the occurrence of cerebral palsy.
