Congenital heart disease and congenital heart disease can be inherited

Down syndrome in children is caused

by chromosomal abnormalities, gene mutations or gene deletions, which are not directly inherited, so Down syndrome in children will not be inherited. However, there is a family history of Down syndrome in children, the incidence rate is higher.

Congenital heart disease is mainly caused by abnormal development of the heart in the embryonic period, although it has a genetic tendency, but does not belong to the category of genetic diseases, so patients with congenital heart disease, will not directly inherit the disease to their children.
