A member asked:
Is having a bochdalek hernia inherited, if so from the mom or dads side?

Multifactorial: Bochdalek hernia, a type of diaphragmatic hernia, is thought to be multifactorial in nature, meaning that there is both a genetic predisposition and an inciting environmental "trigger". While the genetic predisposition may be inherited, it is unclear from which side, mother or father, is involved.
