Dad recently diagnosed with mds. treated with azacitadine and venetoclax. test results good so far w/no sign of blasts. genetic testing revealed idh mutation, but not sure on specific idh. is that mutation hereditary or does it happen at random?

Myelodysplastic disorders (MDS) are related to mutations and are spontaneous changes, but generally not heritable specifically, but the tendency to mutations may occur as a heritable trait, which may not be active in every individual, and in that sense, it is a random occurrence.
