If someone with spina bifida fathers a child will this be passed on genetically?

Answer 1

Although spina bifida appears to run in certain families, it does not follow any particular law of inheritance. If parents have one child with spina bifida, the risk of recurrence in any subsequent pregnancy is about one in 40. Studies show that the development of spina bifida and other neural tube defects may be influenced by the mother’s diet, especially the amount of the B-vitamin folic acid she consumes.

Answer 2

it is somehow possible but mostly, certain diseases are passed on the 3rd generation.. maybe his grandchildren, but not his children.
