Boys outnumber girls by nearly 2 to 1 There is a genetically determined delay in acquiring sphincter competence, with two-thirds of children with enuresis having an affected first-degree relative. Organic causes of enuresis are uncommon but include urinary tract infection faecal retention severe enough to reduce bladder volume and cause bladder neck dysfunction polyuria from osmotic diuresis, e.g. diabetes mellitus, or renal concentrating disorders, e.g. chronic renal failure A urine sample should always be tested for glucose and protein, specific gravity and checked for infection bladder ultrasonograph...

Multifactorial inheritance Multifactorial inheritance refers to traits that are caused by a combination of inherited and environmental factors Characteristics 1- The risk of recurrence is related to the incidence of the disease 2- Some disorders have a sex predilection, Pyloric stenosis, for example, is more common in males, whereas congenital dislocation of the hips is more common in females 3-The likelihood that both identical twins will be affected with the same malformation is less than 100% but much greater than the chance that both members of a nonidentical twin pair will be affected. This is in contrast with the pattern seen in mendelian inheritance, in which identical twins almost always share fully penetrant genetic disorders 4- The risk of recurrence is increased when multiple family members are affected. A simple example is that the risk of recurrence for unilateral cleft lip and palate is 4% for a couple with 1 affected child and increases to 9% with 2 affec...
