Inherited disease is passed from parent(s) to offspring, other types of diseases are not. Inherited diseases are gene-based, other diseases are caused by germs or chemicals They have increased chances with in-breeding e.g very close relatives interbreeding, other diseases are not affected by this. Other diseases can be communicable, or non-communicable, on the other hand inheritable diseases are not.
