Is Cleidocranial Dysplasia hereditary?
Is Cleidocranial Dysplasia hereditary? The genetic component explained in plain language, reviewed against medical sources, with patient experiences.
Cleidocranial dysplasia is genetic. It is passed on from mother or father to the child. CCD is caused by a mutation in the CFBA1 gene, which is in chromosome 6. The possibility of passing on the syndrome is high, since it is a dominant trait, meaning that the chances of the offspring getting it are 50% or higher.
