Question
Would a newborn born during hyperthyroidism inherit their mother’s hyperthyroidism? The mother was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism in January 2010 and gave birth in December of the same year.
Answer
Hyperthyroidism has a certain genetic predisposition, but this does not necessarily mean it will be inherited by the next generation. There is just a risk of developing hyperthyroidism. Hyperthyroidism is usually a disease that occurs on the basis of genetic factors, plus external stress factors such as infection and mental stress. Therefore, newborns do not necessarily inherit hyperthyroidism, and family members do not need to worry excessively. Wishing for health.
