No, it's not; some people have it genetically inherited. It can be a sign of too many toxins in the body, is sometimes caused by injuries in the brain, tumors, certain eye drops, or caused by conjoint twins. It's not, in any way, a disease itself.
Unless, of course, you're talking about Simple Heterochromia, which is a disease where there are other ocular or systematic problems.

Can Heterochromia be passed on to children?

Heterochromia is a genetic mutation that cannot be passed down to children. It occurs as a defect in meiosis, and it produces an extra gene for eye colour. Alas, there is a greater chance that the child of a person with heterochromia will also get heterochromia, because there is a better chance of the gene mutating. But still, the chance of heterochromia is rare nonetheless.
