Can Genetic Diseases Be Cured?

Genetic diseases can be treated, but it also depends on which type of genetic disease it is, and some genetic diseases may not be curable. Nowadays, there are many types of genetic diseases, including allergic diseases, hypertension, otitis media, obesity, myopia, etc., which all belong to genetic diseases. Among them, the genetic probability of allergic diseases is relatively high, especially asthma, which can reach about 80%, and the genetic rate of otitis media can also reach more than 60%.

The first category: allergies. If either parent has an allergic disease, the baby is prone to developing allergic diseases, especially asthma, which has a high genetic probability. If one of the parents suffers from asthma, the chance of passing it on to the baby is 30% to 50%. If both parents have asthma or other allergic symptoms, the genetic probability will rise to about 80%.

The second category: hypertension and hyperlipidemia. Hypertension and hyperlipidemia also have a high genetic rate. If one of the parents has the disease, the child's genetic probability is 50%, and if both parents have the disease, it will increase to about 80%. Even if grandparents or grandparents of the previous generation have heart disease, the baby's risk of hypertension or hyperlipidemia is also quite high.

The third category: otitis media. Otitis media can also be inherited, with a genetic probability of six to seven out of ten. Babies inherit their parents' bone structure and are likely to have the same Eustachian tube structure as their father or mother, making them more prone to otitis media.

The fourth category: obesity. Some people are born with "obesity genes." Generally speaking, at least one of these people's parents is obese, and coupled with their lack of attention to diet and exercise after birth, it prompts the expression of latent obesity genes in the body. Among them, the mother's body shape has a particularly significant impact on her daughter.

The fifth category: poor vision. Eye diseases in parents are also likely to be inherited by children, especially myopia. If parents have been myopic since childhood, the probability of wearing glasses in the future is six times higher than that of other babies.
