Is Loeys Dietz syndrome hereditary?
Here you can see if Loeys Dietz syndrome can be hereditary. Do you have any genetic components? Does any member of your family have Loeys Dietz syndrome or may be more predisposed to developing the condition?
Yes, it is inherited by the dominant gene. The person with the diagnosis has a 50% chance of passing it on to the next generation.

LDS is hereditary and does not skip generations. I am an ally meaning I am the start of LDS in my family. The affected have a 50/50 chance of passing on the mutated gene. I gave 2, one normal and one mutated. One of those genes will be passed to my offspring. My first son, born in 2013 is unaffected as my son born in 2018 is affected.

LDS is either hereditary or a mutation gene that you can acquire.

Loeys-Dietz syndrome is a recently-described genetic hereditary connective tissue disorder with features similar to those of Marfan syndrome, and the vascular type of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Loeys-Dietz syndrome is primarily characterized by aortic aneurysms (weakened outpouchings of the aorta, the main artery in the body) in children.

Yes it is but you have a 50% chance of passing it to each child. If a child doesn’t get the mutation neither will their children
