A member asked:

My daughter has been diagnosed with all ph+, does it mean that this disease has become inheritable in my family?

Dr. Carla Enriquez answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

No: The philadelphia chromosome is not a heritable condition. It results from a chromosomal mutation (transfer of pieces of one chromosome to another, called "translocation") after conception. It is linked to chronic leukemia, but is also found in acute leukemia. Not a familial condition.
