A member asked:
I need to know if heart diseases can be given to a child from father hereditarily . father has the disease from his birth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes. Congenital heart disease can be passed from a man to his child if he was a carrier of a dominant trait. Depends specifically on which disease you are referring to. But diseases that are genetically based can be passed from mother or father to child (son or daughter) and in some cases the genes can be passed on without having the disease. (Recessive genes)
