Not Necessarily

In my family it ran from my grandmother, to my father and then to two of us boys. It left out my twin sisters and my kids, yet one of the twins son..has it.

So my guess would be maybe... maybe not. If your really worried about it you might set-up an appointment with a physician to discuss it. My take is if your life is non disruptive...don't worry about it.
