Urinary Incontinence May Be Hereditary

Researchers say women whose mothers suffer from urinary incontinence were about 1.3-times more likely to suffer from it and when // mothers reported severe symptoms, daughters were nearly two-times more likely to report urinary incontinence.

Childhood Wheezing Could Be Hereditary

Studies in the past have suggested early onset wheezing is associated with high levels of allergies, impaired lung function, // and bronchial hyper-responsiveness. Children with the longest duration of wheezing also appear to have more severe asthma.
