Crohn's disease is not a genetic disease, but there is a certain genetic probability.
Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease, the exact pathogenesis of which is not fully understood. Genetic factors are thought to be associated with the occurrence of Crohn's disease. However, Crohn's disease is not a single-gene genetic disease. Crohn's disease may be affected by multiple genes, and environmental factors are also involved. People with a family history are more likely to develop Crohn's disease, but it is not necessarily passed on to the next generation, but there is a certain genetic risk. If a close relative of a person has Crohn's disease, the risk of the disease may increase.
