Does hypermobility spectrum disorder run in families

Hi, I've recently been experiencing problems with my joints, and have just been told that my sister who I don't have contact with has this disorder, along with severe osteoarthritis. Does anyone know if this could be relevant, and whether this condition runs in family?

Hi. Yes I'm sure it runs in families. I have it. My son and nephew also have it. Get a diagnosis so you can manage it well.

Many thanks for your response, however I had an appointment with a specialist last week who ruled this out... Which was a great relief. Thanks once again
