Hard to say: The history you give is too vague to be helpful. If this is an issue you should find records defining what diagnosis was applied to his condition and why they occurred to begin with. You can seek out a medical geneticist, often found at children's hospitals or medical schools for guidance in this or any other inheritable issue.
