Will Granddaughter Get Von Willebrand Disease If Mother Doesn T Have It?

I have Von Willibrand Disease, but my daughter may not have it. My newborn granddaughter (four days old) was admitted to NICU due to elevated white blood count. She has severe bruising from attempts to get her IV line inserted. Can my granddaughter have Von Willibrand Disease if her mother (my daughter) does not have it?
