I have been reading that Aneurysm's are genetic. Is there anyone in this site that has any other genetic disorders?

I have has:

Arnold Chiari Malformation

Thyroid Cancer

and possible Pheochromocytoma (Adrenal Tumor)

James,

I think the study that was done shows apx 15-20% are genetic...the study was done several years ago and may be on the BAF main site...

Thank you. I thought the way doctors were talking the figure was higher.

Hi James...I participated in a study up in Gainsville...and I was told they are trying to figure out who gets aneurysm's...they donot know...they (Neuro's) do feel you are more likely if family member (blood relative) had/has annies...

Happy Friday...Colleen

Thank you.

There are no signs of them in other family members past and present. I have two other genetic ailments and seem to be the health lightening rod in the family.
