It is possible that Tetralogy of Fallot could be genetic. The only way to know for sure is to have genetic screening done on you and your husband.
tet is short for tetrology of Fallot, a heart condition, and cyanotic means they turned blue, usually from lack of oxygen.
Babies with tetrology of fallot have poor oxygen-saturated blood due to pulmonary stenosis and right ventricular outflow tract obstruction. In blood with normal oxygen levels carbohydrates break down into water and carbon dioxide but in blood with low oxygen levels carbohydrates break down for energy and make lactic acid.
Cyanosis can be due to problems with heart or lungs. In children cyanosis is commonly due to congenital heart disease in which there is right to left shunt for eg. Tetrology of Fallot.
In normal conditions, blood is pumped to the body by the left side of the heart while the right side pumps it to the lungs. Because of the tetralogy of fallot, the hole between the right and left pumping chambers allows the blood to travel across the right and left ventricles but also out into the body artery.
This component of tetralogy of fallot is known as right ventricular hypertrophy. It is caused by the fact that the right ventricle, which transports oxygenated blood to the atrium, is working harder to attempt to get more of that blood to the rest of the body. Since the heart is a muscle, it will get thicker as it works harder.
The three interventions a RN is expected to know in order to treat a patient experiencing a tetrology of fallot are: bring the child's knees to the chest to increase the pressure of the left ventricle of the heart, administer oxygen to the patient and administer morphine to release the spasm of the pulmonary infundibulum.

Emphysema is one of the causes of club fingers. There are about 50 more diseases that do it too though.
