A member asked:
How come i have hodgkin's disease, but nobody else in the family has it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not familial: This disease is not inherited and does not run in families- risk factors more likely are young age and presence of ebv virus infection. There is a small increased risk among your siblings.
