Hello anon, Great question. According to emedicinehealth.com, some evidence points to genetic factors that make people more likely to develop brain aneuryms. Here’s what they found out:
* According to several studies, up to 20% of people with bleeding from an aneurysm have a first- or second-degree relative with a brain aneurysm.
* These relatives are at higher risk for bleeding in the brain.
• In most families with brain aneurysms, the condition affects only 2-3 members of the extended family, and the method of inheritance is not apparent. (Source: ]]>emedicinehealth.com]]>)
Right now, medical professionals do not recommend screenings for those with genetic dispositions.
