Will my medical condition stop me from joing the USMC?!?

I have something called Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT)...Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia is a rare inherited disorder characterized by malformations of various blood vessels usually resulting in excessive bleeding (hemorrhaging). Chronic nosebleeds are often the first apparent symptom ociated with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia. Malformation of various blood vessels may result in abnormalities affecting various organ systems of the body including the lungs, brain, and liver. Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. I haven't had any problems with it in 4 years. Will this stop me from joining the USMC?
