Best Answer

There is some correlation between Crohn's disease and genetic but so far there is no definitive answer. Family history often shows others in the family of a patient have had some form of bowel disease. There is a great chance of a child of a Crohn's patient developing the disease later in life but the disease seems to be able to skip generations.
