Certain types of scoliosis have genetic factors, some have no genetic input, and some are only from genetics. For example, adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, which makes up about 80 percent of all cases of scoliosis, is generally from a combination of both environmental factors (i.e. posture) and genetic predisposition.

Can hole in the heart skip a generation and be the cause of down syndrome in a grandchild?
can not be passed from generation to generation
Does hemophilia skip a generation?
Haemophilia is a sex-linked recessive disorder - which means it can skip a generation, but only if it is carried in the female line.A female can be a carrier of haemophilia, but a male cannot. This is because males only have one X chromosome, so if they have a defective X they will have the disorder. If a father has haemophilia, all of his daughters will also have haemophilia.
Do autosomal domiant disorder skip generations?
Autosomal dominant disorders typically do not skip generations, as only one copy of the mutated gene is needed for an individual to express the disorder. If a parent has the disorder, there is a 50% chance of passing it to each child. However, it is possible for a mutation to appear in a new generation if it occurs spontaneously, but this is relatively rare. Therefore, while they usually do not skip generations, exceptions can occur.
What type of allele is known for skipping a generation?
Recessive alleles are known for skipping a generation. This is because the phenotype associated with a recessive allele is only expressed when an individual inherits two copies of the recessive allele, one from each parent. If one parent carries the allele but does not exhibit the trait, it can appear to "skip" a generation before being expressed.

Can sickle cell trait skip a generation?
yes it can skip a generation, since it is a Mendel inheritance. and it is a reccesive trait. therefore offspring's can have two unaffected parents but chances are both parents might be carriers
What is the lateral curvation of the spine called?
That is called a scoliosis. You can remember the 'S' shaped spine of Scoliosis.
Does tay-sachs skip a generation?
Tay-Sachs disease does not skip a generation in the traditional sense, as it is a genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the HEXA gene. It is an autosomal recessive condition, meaning a child must inherit two copies of the mutated gene (one from each parent) to develop the disease. If both parents are carriers of the mutation, there is a 25% chance with each pregnancy that their child will have Tay-Sachs. Thus, while it may appear to skip a generation if a carrier has children with someone who is not a carrier, the disease itself does not skip generations genetically.
What is a prevention of scoliosis?
scoliosis can not be prevented
Where does scoliosis mainly affect?
Scoliosis is a descriptive term for a spinal condition. Scoliosis means curvature
Do twins normally skip a generation in families?
It is possible to have multiple sets of multiples, and giving birth to multiples can also skip a generation. Hyper ovulation (the tendency to release multiple eggs during ovulation, increasing the chances of conceiving fraternal twins) is a factor in giving birth to twins.
Can recessive traits skip generations?
Your parental genotype. AA X Bb gives two--------AB two--------Ab The recessive trait is masked in this generation. This is how recessive traits skip generations
