Hi and welcome to HCM.
well it can be only some infectious agnet such as virus,bacteria or parasite. he shold do testing to rule out all these diseases and then right prevention can be planned. his father could get infected by using same razors,needles or other objects of personal use. perhaps he was talking about genetic liver diseases,in this case it will be hereditary but not necessary to occur.
Wish you good health.
