In most cases spherocytosis is an inherited condition. It is caused by a genetic mutation that is considered a recessive trait.

Yes you can. I also smoke weed and have spherocytosis. Helps with my nausea, jaundice, fatigue etc. Very helpful medicinal remedy.

If you or the person you choose to have children with, ... have hereditary spherocytosis, you have a 50/50 chance of your child inheriting the gene. I have hereditary spherocytosis and the odds I was given was 50/50 and all four of my children have the disorder. My oldest and youngest had it the worst and had their spleens removed at age 5. My two middle children...the older of them had hers out when she was 11 and my 10 year old still has her spleen at age 10. Good luck. Don't let this disorder stop you from having children. They have ways to deal with the disorder in the medical field.
