Uncommon Question on Dyslexia- PLS HELP?


My really close friend suffers from Dyslexia. She was diagnosed with it in Middle school. Her parents got her help & were trying to figure out, with the help of a doctor, the reason why she was dyslexic when it Wasn't hereditary or in the family.
Finally they came to the conclusion that she was born dyslexic because during her mother's pregnancy there were complications (her mother had got Malaria too) and that affected her brain. She is getting married soon and wanted to know-
Q1) Since she was born with dyslexia will it be inherited by her children?
Q2) Can complications really cause dyslexia?What kind of dyslexia is this?
Q3) Is there anything we can do to avoid her children from inheriting it or reduce the chances?
Pls help. Thank you.

PS: i specifically asked if the children would inherit it because hers was a case of dyslexia due to pregnancy complications.

hunny, will you please not post the same question like 10 different times.....

Dyslexia can be hereditary and also the result of injury... in the latter case it is not hereditary.

complications = injury

Dyslexia can range from minor to sever. I have a moderate level of it. A sever case sees the number 710 as OIL.
I know of a distant relative who has it this sever, he s quite intelligent but cannot read.

- edit -
And I specifically said that in the case of injury it is not hereditary... and that applies for every injury everywhere in the body. If it in the genes its hereditary. Now if someone can explain how an injury modifies the genes, that would be interesting.

you need to ask your doctor he will tell you

Dyslexia (reading disorder) is the most common of all learning disabilities and is the best understood. It is more easily identified by the public and has received a lot of attention in research and the media. Failure to read (or read accurately and with speed) is very noticeable and somewhat stigmatizing in today's society.
although it is not understood which genes are responsible and how it is passed down through families, there is strong evidence to suggest that dyslexia is a genetic condition.
There are several types of dyslexia that can affect the child's ability to spell as well as read.
"Trauma dyslexia" usually occurs after some form of brain trauma or injury to the area of the brain that controls reading and writing. It is rarely seen in today's school-age population.
A second type of dyslexia is referred to as "primary dyslexia." This type of dyslexia is a dysfunction of, rather than damage to, the left side of the brain (cerebral cortex) and does not change with maturity. Individuals with this type are rarely able to read above a fourth grade level and may struggle with reading, spelling, and writing as adults. Primary dyslexia is passed in family lines through their genes (hereditary). It is found more often in boys than in girls.
A third type of dyslexia is referred to as "secondary" or "developmental dyslexia" and is felt to be caused by hormonal development during the early stages of fetal development. Developmental dyslexia diminishes as the child matures. It is also more common in boys.
Dyslexia involves several different functions. Visual dyslexia is characterized by number and letter reversals and the inability to write symbols in the correct sequence. Auditory dyslexia involves difficulty with sounds of letters or groups of letters. The sounds are perceived as jumbled or not heard correctly. "Dysgraphia" refers to the child's difficulty holding and controlling a pencil so that the correct markings can be made on the paper.
