What are the chances of a child inheriting arthritis and type 1 diabetes? There are heart murmurs in the family too, could that be hereditary? Thanks in advance!
How Likely Is It That A Child Will Inherit Diabetes And Arthritis?

If the mother is the carrier then it is very likely the child especially a boy will have inherited diabetes. Arthritis is most definitely an inherited disability. Heart murmurs, if a family trait then those too. However in these times none of these are live threatening as long you take medical help
Not too sure about diabetes, but my dad had a heart murmur, and well I do too…
Also, I’ve had juvenile arthritis since I was 7, but no one in my family has/had it (apart from my great gran who only got it few years ago)… so it depends on the arthritis type?
