Hypothyroidism can be inherited, primarily in the context of autoimmune thyroid diseases like Hashimoto's thyroiditis, which often runs in families. Genetic factors play a role, with certain genes associated with an increased risk of developing thyroid disorders. However, hypothyroidism can also occur sporadically due to environmental factors, iodine deficiency, or other non-genetic causes. Overall, while there is a genetic component, it is not a straightforward inheritance pattern like some other genetic disorders.
