10 Causes of Peripheral Neuropathy
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Cause #3: Hereditary
When we reproduce, we pass on important genetic information to our offspring. This information helps to determine pretty much everything we are as humans, including personality as well as physical characteristics. Unfortunately, parents can also pass on genetic information that causes complications in their children.
Peripheral neuropathy is one condition that can be a result of faulty genes being passed on by the parents. If you are diagnosed with the condition, there’s a good chance that you will be asked about such problems in the family to help the doctor pinpoint the cause. The good news is that such conditions are not always passed onto children.
