Yes, there is a risk of passing on PKD on to your children if you have the genetic mutation associated with the condition. PKD is an inherited disorder caused by genetic mutations, and if one or both parents have PKD, there is a chance that their children may inherit the mutated gene and develop the disease. However, the severity of PKD and the likelihood of passing it on can vary depending on the specific genetic mutations involved. Genetic counseling can help assess this risk and provide guidance for individuals and families affected by PKD.
