Yes, deep vein thrombosis is hereditary. If anyone in your family has experienced DVT, it means you are at high risk of getting it. Your family history or genes make you more prone to develop DVT.
As per a study, in young patients with DVT, the reason could be their genes. If your brother/sister has had DVT, then your risk of developing it is doubled. DVT occurs mostly in people of age 50 and over.
The chances of DVT will also increase if you're overweight. It is also possible not to have any symptoms of deep vein thrombosis. Thus, you should not avoid yearly health check-ups.
