A member asked:

What's the type of inheritance of chronic myelogenous leukemia (cml)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not inherited: CML is associated with chromosome damage (the philadelphia chromosome). This is not inherited. The damage is to bone morrow stem cells and occurs long after birth. So the disease is not passed on to children.
