Yes, of course. Not only the genes decide whether a baby is healthy/complete.

Example: rubbish infection during pregnancy. The virus goes over to the unborn, affects the organ development of the unborn. Consequence: impairments, disabilities of the child. That was in the neighborhood where I was born.

Or for external factors such as drugs/ drugs/alcohol/ nicotine during pregnancy. This also affects the unborn and its development directly.

Etc pp….

The basic genetic health of biological parents is a great basis – but it alone decides nothing.

Only about 4% of physical and mental impairments have a genetic cause. Most of the disabilities are therefore not caused by the genes, but for example by malnutrition or alcohol consumption during pregnancy, by infectious diseases such as e.g. skirts or damages occurring during birth, for example oxygen deficiency or injury to nerves. Even if the child is exposed to radioactive radiation in the womb, or accidents may cause physical or mental damage.

A large proportion of the genetically caused diseases is also due to spontaneously occurring new mutations, i.e. also not to a genetic defect in the parents.

Sure. It gets everything from the mother. Although not much disease overcomes the placenta barrier. But there are those who do that. But far more than pathogens may occur in the case of poor health of the mother. It even happens that newborns must first undergo alcohol withdrawal. Fortunately not on the agenda. But the world isn’t just a flower meadow.

Syndromes (e.g. forms of trisomie, in which the usual number of chromosomes is not found) are no genetic diseases, since they usually occur spontaneously only in the cell division of the embryo.

Genetic defects that cause mental disability are therefore rarely inherited from parents to their children. Rather, the mutations occur spontaneously in a large proportion of patients.

It is different in typical genetic diseases, such as CF, phenylketonuria, albinism, galactosemia, sickle cell anemia….

Most genetic diseases are not inherited dominately and can only break out if both parents carry the same genetic information for “sick” and both pass this identical information to the same child.

The average risk for inheritance of a genetic disease is about 3 percent for non-blooded partners, as the probability is very low that both of them carry the same sick genetic information.

However, if both partners belong, for example, to a family in which the genetic plant is present for a genetic disease, the probability of a child being transferred from both parents to the genetic disease increases.

Happy for you!

The genes have a certain influence, but that’s not all.

What if parents have perfect genes, but the mother is under-nourished when the mother drinks alcohol (there can be little enough), consumes drugs, smokes? What if any other influences affect the unborn child who have nothing to do with genes? What if an accident happens during pregnancy when the mother is seriously ill….

And even in spite of “best genes” gene defects can occur in the child which lead to diseases.

Of course it is possible.

Parents with “bad genes” are less concerned with hereditary diseases. It is more about the genes that are not as good as other people. Less intelligent, less sporty, less healthy, etc. But the borders are feasting. From “not so good”, over easily impeded to severely disabled.

When parents get children with good genes, these children usually also have above average gue genes. But there is always a certain scatter. You can also see that the siblings are different, although they have the same parents.

Intelligent parents can also have a less intelligent child, vice versa.

Most serious genetic diseases occur fairly evenly in the population. In people with good genes exactly the same, or almost as often.

There are thousands or tens of thousands of different genetic diseases. Some are more common, others are rare. Every person has hundreds of genetic errors in his genes. Most of them occur only when the same inheritance is present with mother and father. If mother and father have various inheritance errors, the diseases do not occur because the inheritance error of one parent is “repaired” by the healthy gene of the other. These are then recessive genetic diseases. In the case of dominant genetic diseases, a parent also has visible this genetic disease. And because this hereditary disease is visible, these people often have less or no children. However, there are also dominant genetic diseases that become visible only at the higher age. Some hereditary diseases occur only when different gene errors come together.

There are then also very many gene errors, or gene variations, which would not be referred to as genetic illness, but as “less optimal”. These may then be the differences between people with good and less good genes. But these differences also occur more when they are inherited from both parents.

Many of them I have learned in the course of life. I also know a lot about animal husbandry. In a large, ever larger part, the animals are examined the genes. Here, genetic diseases, but also the optimal and less optimal genes can be found. And it is further bred with the animals that have many optimal, and little bad genes.

Theoretically, this would also be possible in humans. But you don’t, and you shouldn’t. Individual, certain genetic diseases are also examined in humans.

there are thousands of illnesses at the end, not everything is genetic, much more children are still sick by bacteria or other.

Yes, when complications occur during pregnancy

Is the question what you mean with good genes, but there are also enough pregnancy complications so that a child can be sick because it was born wrong, or zb the navel cord was wrong or born too early etc.
