Title: Birthmark - Is it Hereditary? Post by: prashantakerkar on May 12, 2019 Is Birthmark hereditary or genetic? Thanks & Regards, Prashant S Akerkar Title: Re: Birthmark - Is it Hereditary? Post by: be beautiful on May 12, 2019 Neither. Birth marks are caused by flaws in fetal development, they occur randomly

My Son has a small mole just below his left ear. Does it mean it is not inherited from myself or my wife? Even if I or my wife do not have birthmarks - mole, My son can have Birthmarks - mole?

Some marks may be similar to marks on other family members, but generally most are not.
So to answer your question, the likelihood of your son acquiring the same marks as you and your wife is low. Title: Re: Birthmark - Is it Hereditary? Post by: prashantakerkar on May 13, 2019 Thanks.
The probability of Birthmarks genetic material passing on to offspring from Biological parents is less as you mentioned. Thanks & Regards, Prashant S Akerkar Title: Re: Birthmark - Is it Hereditary? Post by: bio_man on May 13, 2019 Any other questions, let us know :)
