If i had a operation for epilepsy. is it still a chance will my child hered the diease.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cause: If the cause of your epilepsy was genetic then despite your surgery the risk is still present that you will pass the genetic material on to a child. If the cause of your epilepsy was for some other reason then likely no. Receive genetic counseling if necessary. All the best.
