Is there a genetic componet to wetting the bed? bcuz both my girls wet for yrs.n i did as well as a child until 12.also had aunts who did the same.

Yes.: Bedwetting has a strong genetic component. Children whose parents were not enuretic have only a 15% incidence of bedwetting. When one or both parents were bedwetters, the rates jump to 44% and 77% respectively. Genetic research shows that bedwetting is associated with the genes on chromosomes 13q and 12q (possibly 5 and 22 also).
