Key Takeaways:

  1. Genetic factors can contribute to Cerebral Palsy (CP) in some cases.
  2. If one child has CP due to a genetic disorder, there may be a risk for future pregnancies.
  3. The likelihood of CP recurring depends on the underlying cause.
  4. Consulting a Clinical Geneticist is important before planning another child.
  5. Early genetic counseling can help assess and manage potential risks.

If Cerebral Palsy(CP) in the first child has been attributed to a collective genetic disorder then there is a probability of the second child developing Cerebral Palsy. Consult a Clinical Geneticist in your city before planning your next pregnancy.
