1. Cystic Fibrosis. Cystic Fibrosis is one of the most widespread inherited genetic disorders. It prominently affects Caucasians who are Ashkenazi Jews. It occurs only when both parents are carriers, which gives their children a 1 in 4 risk of contracting the disease.
The most common inherited diseases are von Willebrand disease (primary hemostasis), which is the most common inherited disorder of hemostasis, and hemophilia A (factor VIII deficiency, secondary hemostasis). Inherited disorders of the blood vessel wall, platelet number, platelet function, and inhibitors are quite rare.
