The genetic probability of ankylosing spondylitis is so great

Life will become extremely painful after suffering from ankylosing spondylitis. In terms of the inheritance rate of ankylosing spondylitis, the probability of children born to general ankylosing spondylitis patients getting ankylosing spondylitis is about 20%-30%, which is relatively high.

In terms of the inheritance rate of ankylosing spondylitis, the probability of children born to patients with ankylosing spondylitis getting ankylosing spondylitis is about 20%-30%, which is relatively high. Some patients with ankylosing spondylitis, who are antigen-positive themselves, say that not all their children will be positive. Even if some of them are positive, they will not necessarily be infected with ankylosing spondylitis. This is because among normal people, about 5% of the population may be antigen-positive.

Regardless, since ankylosing spondylitis has a chance of being passed on to the next generation through inheritance, patients with ankylosing spondylitis should be extremely cautious before having children. From the perspective of eugenics, it is not suitable to have children before ankylosing spondylitis is completely cured. Even though genetic factors have little impact on ankylosing spondylitis, we can also ignore the impact of anti-ankylosing spondylitis drugs on the fetus.

The genetic characteristics of ankylosing spondylitis increase the probability of children born to patients suffering from ankylosing spondylitis. The probability varies from person to person. For the health of their next generation, patients with ankylosing spondylitis should carefully consider this issue to avoid making a wrong decision that would cause their children to suffer from illness.

Therefore, patients with ankylosing spondylitis should be alert to the possibility of their next generation developing a similar disease. If they find that their children have early symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis, such as subtle transient, asymmetric swelling and pain in the lower limb joints, pain at the attachment points of the patellar tendon, Achilles tendon and other tendons, stiffness and discomfort in the lower back and recurrent iridocyclitis, they should promptly seek medical attention at a hospital with a rheumatology specialist. Routine sacroiliac joint X-rays can confirm the diagnosis. If the diagnosis is still in doubt, a sacroiliac joint CT scan should be taken as soon as possible to confirm the diagnosis and provide timely treatment.
