Can male ichthyosis be passed down to the next generation?

Fish scale disease is actually very common. If you have ever met a patient with fish scale disease, you will know that fish scale disease will make the patient's skin look like fish scales, which looks very scary. So, will male fish scale disease be passed on to the next generation? In fact, the inheritance of fish scale disease has nothing to do with gender. If you have hereditary fish scale disease, the probability of the next generation getting sick is about half.

In today's life, the incidence of skin diseases is very high, and fish scale disease is one of them. Its disease brings great harm to our skin and even more to our lives. These are only part of the harm to patients. So, if a man has fish scale disease, will it be passed on to the next generation? The editor has summarized some information, let's take a look.

If a man has fish scale disease, will it be passed on to the next generation?

For normal ichthyosis, since the pathogenic gene is located on the autosome, the inheritance of the pathogenic gene is not related to sex, that is, men and women have an equal chance of getting sick. After such ichthyosis patients marry normal people, the probability of their offspring being inherited is 50%, that is, each child has a 50% chance of getting sick in theory, that is, the probability of this child being sick and normal is equal. Therefore, this situation is not necessarily passed on to future generations.

In fact, the ichthyosis formed on the skin of the expectant father and mother will not necessarily be passed on to their children, because if ichthyosis is hereditary, it also requires relevant conditions to occur. Therefore, the majority of ichthyosis patients do not need to worry too much about the genetic problem of ichthyosis on their bodies. If you have any concerns before giving birth, you can consult a dermatologist and take relevant preventive measures for the disease.

After reading this article, everyone will have a more specific understanding of the harm that fish scale disease brings to patients. I hope everyone can discover fish scale disease in the early stages of the disease and go to a regular hospital for treatment as soon as possible to avoid delaying the disease and causing greater harm to patients.
