Yes as far as I know it is passed on at birth but is so rare it can skip generations... many people as well as myself do not have anyone we know of on either side of their family trees that has been diagnosed with msk or even has a history of passing stones threw out their life time. But some I know end up with either parents that have it or their children have it as well and again it can skip generations

Yes. My nephrologist told me today it is autosomal dominant. One copy and you have a milder case, 2 copies and you have a bad case.

Yes. It is hereditary. It can skip generations. It develops in the fetus as a hereditary disease.
