Scientific concensis is that there can most likely be a hereditory factor involved in RA. The exact cause of RA is as yet unknown. However scientists do understand that many factors may contribute to the development of Rheumatiod Arthritis. Scientists have shown particular genes that play a role in the immune system may be involved in determining whether or not you develop RA. on the other hand some RA victims do not have these genes, and then others that do never develop the disease.
I believe that it is nonhereditary, because I have had a chronic diagnosis of RA in May of 2000. We have researched both sides of my extremely large families and have found no one else with any symptoms, etc.
But I did have an emergency transfusion in January of 1980, and I believe that with DNA, and all of those interesting topics, that my system was exposed to the possibility of developing Rheumatoid Arthritis through that. Let me know what you think on this...
RA is not nesesarily hereditory. hovever it is termed as an hereditary disease
