Genetics <\/a>is one of the most common causes of dyscalculia. It can be passed down from parents to children, and it often runs in the family for many generations.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\nLittle is known about the condition and the causes, so scientists are working on learning more about the condition. While they know that genetics is a big factor, they are not sure what genes are affected or how they are affected to cause the condition and make it hereditary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In some cases, the severity of the condition lessens with each generation. Some generations are not affected, and it can skip one or two and then show up in family members who are not direct relatives of someone with the condition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Understanding how the condition is passed between family members can help medical scientists come up with ways to help prevent it and diagnose it earlier so intervention can occur sooner and the person has a better chance of overcoming the condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
