Minimal chance: Some familial influence is reported in WPW but the disorder is uncommon & the mode of inheritance is unknown. It probably increases the offspring of a case <5% & less so if one generation later. A visit to a genetic counselor could help you identify specifics for your individual risks with any pregnancy.They are affiliated with children's hospitals & med schools.
