A- GENETICS: There is an increased incidence of nocturnal enuresis in children whose parents also had this condition. Both parents, 77%; one parent, 44%; neither parent 15%.-1 2- In monozygotic twins the concordance rate is 68 %; the rate for dizygotic twins is 36 %. The exact gene and what that gene encodes remain unclear.-3 B- MATURATIONAL DELAY: Delayed functional maturation of the central nervous system may reduce the child's ability to inhibit bladder emptying at night. 1- The child's bladder fills, but the sensory output resulting from bladder stretching is not perceived or the message fails to reach the brain, failing, thereby, to inhibit bladder contraction. Functional bladder capacity is small in some children with nocturnal enuresis . – 2 C- SLEEP
