About HHD
-
HHD can be passed on to children
- Due to
HHD's autosomal dominant inheritance pattern, there is a 1 in 2 chance [or 50:50 chance] that each child
of an affected parent will inherit the skin problem. If both
parents are affected, the chances increase.
- HHD is very rare - The frequency
of HHD in the population may be as low as 1 in a million. This
means that sufferers are unlikely to know anybody outside of
their immediate family with the problem. It also means that
doctors may have problems recognizing, diagnosing and treating
the disease.
