Is Arteriovenous Malformation AVM hereditary?
Here you can see if Arteriovenous Malformation AVM can be hereditary. Do you have any genetic components? Does any member of your family have Arteriovenous Malformation AVM or may be more predisposed to developing the condition?
No. Most research shows avm is developed in the womb. Some avm patients never have a rupture or show any symptoms.
Some avm patients will have a rupture and be treated.
Some avm patients will have a rupture and unfortunately pass away before it is able to be treated.
Avms are not passed from mother to child but some families will have multiple sufferers of avm.

There are some new studies that are researching the fact that an AVM MAY by inherited. I think this is a certain type of AVM and not the kind I was diagnosed with

Yes. Both Mayo Clinics in Rochester and Barrows Neurological Institute in Phoenix have clinics dedicated to the hereditary versions of AVMs. My own extended family has 12 people with AVMs, all descended from one great grandmother. They have isolated the gene and members of my family are now tested for it.

If you have HHT I believe it is. But I have not found any info in my research that says they are.

this is not known, and the incidence in the population is low. I have no family history of this, my condition was diagnosed in 1983, but my first major haemorrhage was in 1958

It is believed to be congenital but not heriditary. Uncle had encephelitilis but absolutely no relation.
No links ever found and that includes hether meningitis as a baby played part. Can never know the type of meningitis. Mefical records no longer exist

Some are in fact hereditary, some are just the luck of the draw. I have hereditary AVMs in my lungs, liver and GI tract. My cousin has Brain & Lung AVMs. We have HHT, which is hereditary. We have numerous Telangiectasias: nasal, GI, skin, mouth, vagina - which are malformed vessels. They bleed constantly. I now take a medication used for tumors, to shrink the vessels that feed the telangiectasia/AVMs to slow the bleeding & potential for bleeding.
