Genetic disorders are passed down from parents with some being inherited particularly from the mother.
From the scientific stance, a child may inherit a particular disease from the mum or dad through sex linkage or distinct patterns. For instance, if a mother has a dominant genetic disease, all of her children have a 50 per cent risk of falling victim to the genetic disorder.
A good example of diseases you can get from your mum is mitochondrial syndrome.
Here are the other kinds of disease you should know
1. Alzheimer's disease
A certain report indicates that this malady is associated with family history, mostly you can acquire it from your mum.
“It is estimated that people who have first-degree relatives with Alzheimer’s disease are four to 10 times more likely to develop the disease themselves compared to people with no family history,” says study author Robyn Honea, DPhil, of the University of Kansas School of Medicine in Kansas City.
2. Breast cancer
There are two common genes associated with this cancer and in most cases, they are inherited from the mother as noted on verilymag. The genes include BRCA 1 & 2.
Thus, having breast cancer is not all about being exposed to chemicals, it is also associated with the family health history.
3. Diabetes
This disease is not only caused by environmental factors but can also be inherited from the mother. Usually, when a mother is pregnant, whatever she is eating can negatively and epigenetically impact on a child's health. Diabetes is among the disease caused by a mum's diet when she is pregnant.
