Answer:

It can and cannot be.

What is rickets?

Rickets is a bone-related disorder caused by the deficit of vitamin-D, phosphate or calcium.

How can you inherit rickets?

1. When a mother has traces of the rickets disease, the offspring can indeed have the same traces as the mother.

2. In the other hand, there is a type of rickets, the [hereditary] hypophosphatemic rickets (low phosphate levels and resistance to vitamin-D treatments), that does indeed have an inheritance pattern, according to the Genetics Home Reference.

2.1 There is a gene called PHEX that is found in the x-chromosome, and, when a mutation of this gene occurs, it can cause the so called hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets.

Hope it helped,
