My father's brother recently died of cancer. We were told that genetically we are prone to hepatitis b. Please let me know how serious is this. Is there any vaccination? If so, please let me know the vaccination details and testing procedure. Many thanks in advance.

I'm not sure if you can be prone genetically to hepatitis b, because it's an infection caused by the hepatitis b virus. Nonetheless, there is vaccination available for hep b which can provide durable immunity.
