Yes. Children with one bipolar parent have a 30% chance of developing Bipolar disorder. Even children of bipolar parents who do not develop bipolar disorder are at increased risk (compared to children who do not have a bipolar parent) for other psychopathology such as ADHD, learning disorders, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, etc.
Children with two bipolar parents are at an even greater risk of developing bipolar disorder.

What is a parent organism?
A parent organism is an organism that produces offspring through reproduction. It contributes genetic material to its offspring, passing on inherited traits and characteristics.
A person who has inherited the autosomal recessive disorder called?
A person who has inherited an autosomal recessive disorder will have two copies of the mutated gene, one from each parent. This results in the individual expressing the disorder. Symptoms can vary depending on the specific disorder.
What are chances of two siblings being bipolar?
Bipolar disorder affects between 1-1.6% of the population of the United States, but, unfortunately, it does run in families as it is known to be, at least partially, passed down through genetics. There is no data specifically on siblings but it is known that first-degree relatives, in general (which siblings would be), of people with bipolar I disorder have a seven times greater chance of having bipolar I than the general population. In identical twins, studies have found a concordance rate of between 33-90% in bipolar I. Additionally, offspring of a parent with bipolar disorder have about a 50% chance of having another major psychiatric illness.

What is the passage of traits from parent to offspring call?
The passage of traits from parent to offspring is called heredity. DNA, which contains genetic information, is passed down from parents to their offspring and determines the inherited traits such as eye color, height, and blood type.
Can a person with bipolar adopt?
i sure hope so. i am bipolar and i want to adopt because i was adopted

What is the difference between oppositional defiance disorder and bipolar disorder in children?
Oppositional defiance disorder is something one grows out of unlike bipolar disorder which is permanent. Bipolar disorder is accompanied by mood swings being on top of the world one moments and in despair the next and these moods can last for weeks without signs of improvement. There are other symptoms as well that can help a parent distinguish whether or that is the case. Bipolar disorder is very difficult to live with and should be diagnosed as soon as possible. The book 'the bipolar child' will tell you what you need to know.
Can a mother pass on bipolar to her child?
Yes, bipolar disorder can have a genetic component, meaning a mother can pass on a predisposition to the condition to her child. While having a parent with bipolar disorder increases the risk, it does not guarantee that the child will develop the disorder. Environmental factors and individual life experiences also play significant roles in its onset. Overall, the interplay of genetics and environment is complex in the development of bipolar disorder.
Is Bipolar hereditary?
The mental illness bipolar disorder is thought to be genetic (hereditary) however we don't know of a specific gene that is responsible for it. It appears that many genes must be present for bipolar disorder to manifest, likely, along with other risk factors. This has been shown in twin studies. While identical twins share 100% of their DNA, if one twin has bipolar disorder other other twin does not have bipolar disorder 100% of the time. The rate of concordance of bipolar disorder type one in identical twins is between 33-90%, according to Medscape Reference.According to Medscape Reference, first-degree relatives of a person with bipolar disorder type one have a seven times greater risk of bipolar I than the general population. Additionally, major mental illnesses all seem to travel together as offspring of a parent with bipolar disorder have a 50% chance of having another major psychiatric disorder. It's important to note that even siblings raised in different households still show an elevated risk, illustrating that bipolar disorder is not only due to a shared environment but also genetics.
Is Bipolar disorder genetic?
Yes BiPolar is genetic and it is highly likely that someone who has BiPolar has a family member with the same condition. But not always i mean someone has to be first.
The inherited combination of alleles is known as the offspring's?
The inherited combination of alleles is known as the offspring's genotype. It determines the genetic makeup of an individual based on the alleles inherited from each parent. The genotype influences the phenotype, or the observable traits of an organism.
A person who has inherited the autosomal recessive disorder called?
A person who has inherited an autosomal recessive disorder will have two copies of the mutated gene, one from each parent. This results in the individual expressing the disorder. Symptoms can vary depending on the specific disorder.
