I have juevinille myoclonic epilepsy (genetic), if it's not my egg or sperm would the child get it also?

From what I understand, you have Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (which is inherited genetically). Your question is, if the child is not from your egg or sperm (which means you're not his/her biological parent), would he/she get the JME too? OK, as you can see, JME is a hereditary diseases.

Since the child is not your biological child, he/she would not get it unless his/her ancestors have the same problem. Hope this answers your question.

Quote--- Parents with Juevinille myoclonic epilepsy have 15% chances of having JME to their child. Gene who is responsible for JME is located on chromosomes 6, 8, or 15. EFHC1 gene is responsible for JME.

While the prevalence of epilepsy and approach to treatment are similar for men and women, women with epilepsy are more likely to experience seizure patterns that relate to reproductive cycles and are at risk of reproductive health dysfunction and pregnancy complications. The ovarian steroid hormones estrogen and progesterone alter neuronal excitability and affect the seizure threshold. Children who are born to women with epilepsy have a higher risk of birth defects, probably related to in-utero exposure to antiepileptic drugs.

These hormone-seizure interactions and reproductive health concerns complicate the management of epilepsy in women. --end quote.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
