'Inherits' from parents that children don't want

The child is often referred to as a copy of the parent. Apart from the shape or facial features, you can 'inherit' other problems that you may not want. Here are some such 'misfortunes'.

1. Baldness

If a man has baldness, the original cause to consider belongs to genetic factors. The relationship is not entirely strong, but it certainly plays an important role. Not sure why some men are bald while others are not, but scientists believe that this condition is somewhat linked to the genetic problem inherited from a parent or both. . However, the good news for people with this disease, the US National Institutes of Health has approved two drugs with quite effective treatment: Minoxidil (Rogaine) and Finasteride (Propecia, Proscar).

2. Color blindness

Color blindness affects about 10% of men, more than 1% of women. Color blindness is a direct genetic disease related to sex chromosome pair and below is why it is more common in men.

The receptor gene - the light receptor that distinguishes red and green color is located close to each other on chromosome X. While women have 2 X chromosomes, men only have 1 redundancy. maternal effects, and good genes often compensate for more defective genes. The son who receives the mother's gene will not be able to distinguish the color, because the Y chromosome does not have the dominant color gene to dominate the color blind gene. 99% of such cases are related to distinguishing between red and green. Full color blindness (seeing everything that shows black, white and gray) is quite rare, affecting about 30,000 people worldwide. Interestingly, their dreams are just around the color they can distinguish when awake.

3. Cannot absorb lactose sugar

People with indigestion or tolerance of natural sugar in milk often suffer from diarrhea, abdominal pain, bloating and nausea after drinking milk or using other dairy products. No small cause is due to heredity.

The lowest incidence belongs to people from northwestern Europe and is highest in Asians, Indians (Native Americans). This is a phenomenon of historical factors, related to the process of dairy farming about 10,000 years ago. For generations, people in the strong areas of dairy farming have developed very good lactose tolerance while people in other cultures do not.

4. Acne

Caviar is a very common skin disease, about 85% of American teenagers get it, a worry for many people, especially during puberty. Experts say the main culprit is the overproduction of the skin's natural oils, dead skin cells, and slime, plus bacterial accumulation. Stress and hormone factors also play an important role. Also, if your parents have had acne, your genetic ability is generally very high.

5. Heart disease

There are many causes of heart attacks. According to the US National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, long working hours, stress, smoking, poor diet, no exercise . all raise the risk. However, genetics is still mentioned as the first factor. Be careful if your family history has people with this disease.
