Re: Will my Kids get it?
Does having children with another sufferer of KC make it more likely your children will get it?

I am not sure that the epidemiology is robust enough to be able to answer this question. It is known that there are populations that have a higher than average incidence of KC, but there is no indication that I have seen that would lead to the conclusion that two parents with KC are more likely to have a child with KC.
That said, the parents having KC will not render children immune to the condition.
