The risk of inheriting Motor Neuron Disease (MND) depends on the specific genetic mutations. Having a parent with MND does not guarantee that you will develop the condition, as the majority of cases are sporadic. If there is a known genetic mutation in the family, genetic counseling can provide more information about the risk.

Having a parent with Motor Neuron Disease does not automatically mean that you will develop the condition. The majority of cases are sporadic, and the specific risk depends on the genetic mutations involved.

You are likely to get it. But there is only 50% chance of you getting MND (motor neuron disease) from your mother. Only one out of two patients get Motor neuron disease if their mom or dad has such problem.
