Sanfilippo Syndrome is passed down from families. Both mom and dad have to be carriers of the illness, and the same subtype, to have a child with Sanfilippo. (laymen's terms) In scientific terms, it is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder. You cannot catch Sanfilippo from someone. You are born with defects in your genetic make up.

Both parents have the same recessive gender causing the disease . There a 1 in 4 chance of a child with Sanfilippo if you both have the recessive gene

Both parents carry the faulty gene and this can pass onto any unborn child they are then born without the missing enzyme. For any future pregnancy there is a 1 in 4 chance of any child having or carrying Sanfilippo syndrome.
