A member asked:
A mild blood clotting disorder that is hereditary? are there genetic tests both parents can take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What disorder?: If one has a clotting disorder, and he/she would like to know if it is hereditary or not- he/she would need to complete some work-up. See a hematologist and discuss whether it is necessary that she/he ( not the parents) get the full comprehensive clotting work-up. ( the tests are for the patient and not for the parents. ).
