Not really and yes, of course. :-) But I still think they didn't really explain what exactly the Hoffan-cure was: an inoculation (not inheritable), a form of gene-therapy (perhaps inheritable depending on the details) or something completely different.

For that matter, I think they also never explained any details on the ATA-gene-therapy, how it is supposed to work: Change or activate something in the DNA that's already there? Add something to the DNA that wasn't there before? Take out or suppress something that works against the ATA-gene so that it becomes active? I think according to which details are picked, one could make a case pro or contra heritability.

Which is a good thing for fanfic-writers. :-)
