Is psoriasis hereditary

summary

Cousin's skin is very good, has not had any skin disease, recently grew some psoriasis, repeatedly, listen to his mother said before he also grew, doubt this disease is genetic, let me tell you the genetic probability of psoriasis.

Is psoriasis hereditary

The first is: psoriasis will be hereditary. This is widely accepted. Clinically, parents are psoriasis patients. The children are more likely to suffer from psoriasis, but the incidence rate can also be reduced. The genetic risk should be reduced to two aspects. First, in the stable condition and the withdrawal of drugs for half a year, there is no recurrence of pregnancy. Second, in the summer, the pregnancy is reduced if the psoriasis is reduced. If you have both, that's the best.

Second: psoriasis is generally not hereditary, but it has a certain genetic tendency. It belongs to an immune system disease, which can only be improved by medication and can not be completely cured. However, it does not mean that if parents have psoriasis, they will definitely pass it on to their children. It's just that children with psoriasis are more likely to get psoriasis than other normal people.

Third: the actual psoriasis is only relative genetic rather than absolute genetic. It can be seen from the family history of some patients that psoriasis is hereditary, but it is not necessarily hereditary. Psoriasis although there is a certain genetic probability, but not all will be sick.

matters needing attention

In general, psoriasis has a certain heritability, but what we mean by heritability is its genetic tendency. Not all psoriasis can be inherited. It's just that if both parents have psoriasis, the risk of their children's disease will be relatively high.
