ICD-Code Z84.3: Family history of consanguinity
In your family, people who are related have had a child together.
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.
