Are there some genetic reasons i could get renal artery occlusion?

Yes: There are inherited disorders of clotting that can predispose you to arterial disease in the kidney and elsewhere. Additionally there are familial disorders of metabolism that cause accelerated atherosclerosis. A strong family history of premature arterial disease or heart attacks raises one's suspicions. These conditions can be mitigated through judicious use of medications.

With neurofibromatos: Or with genetic predispositon for atherosclerosis due to inherited hypercholesterolemia. Otherwise not as a genetic reason by itself..
