Norway researchers found that families where a close relative has cerebral palsy are at increased risk of giving birth to a child with this condition. In absolute terms, the risk of having a child with cerebral palsy was very low, they found. Parents affected by cerebral palsy carried a sixfold risk of having an affected child compared to unaffected parents.</p><br clear="all"/>
