Is Blount’s disease hereditary?

In some cases, Blount’s disease is hereditary (inherited from your parents) and runs in families. Growth plates (area at the end of bones that is responsible for new bone growth) of the inner part of the shin bone (tibia) don’t develop normally for people diagnosed with Blount’s disease. The cause of underdeveloped growth plates of the tibia could link to a gene that you acquire from your parents during conception.
