Z84: Family history of other conditions
Z84.3: Family history of consanguinity
There are diseases that can be passed from the parents to the child. These diseases are called hereditary diseases. The risk of hereditary diseases can be increased in a child if people who are related to each other have a child. For this reason, various hereditary diseases occur more often in a family with kinship relations.
Some hereditary diseases may only produce a few symptoms, if any at all. But other hereditary diseases can make you seriously ill.
