Z83: Family history of other specific disorders
Z83, denoted as 'Family history of other specific disorders' in the ICD-10 WHO 2016 classification, refers to a group of health issues with an inherited component. When a patient has a family history of such disorders, it signifies that immediate family members—such as parents or siblings—have been diagnosed with certain conditions, increasing the patient's risk of developing the same. These specific disorders can span various medical fields, from cardiovascular problems to mental health issues. The transmission of these disorders is generally through hereditary means, with alterations in genes passed down through generations. Common symptoms and affected systems depend largely on the specific disorder. Disease progression can also vary significantly, ranging from acute episodes to chronic conditions. This complexity underscores the importance of comprehensive family medical histories for predicting potential health risks.
