Is Ankylosing Spondylitis hereditary?
Here you can see if Ankylosing Spondylitis can be hereditary. Do you have any genetic components? Does any member of your family have Ankylosing Spondylitis or may be more predisposed to developing the condition?
It can run in families. It is believed that some genes make you predisposed to developing it

yes, this is why we should get our children tested

Yes, very hereditary. HLA-B27 and other B27 can be components which require testing.

It is hereditary, but you can be born with it to with no other family member with it.

No come tutte le malattie reumatiche non sono ereditarie

It can be. But then the possible components needs an environmental factor to be triggered.
But again, there is no proof yet of which genetic components with what or how can be triggered.
So although it may be hereditary, that doesn't mean that it will be passed on and also that it will be triggered.
Although when it comes to the diagnose, someone having already a parent suffering from this condition can be a good indication that maybe in this case the patient is also suffering from a related disease or the same.

Yes it can. HLA B27 is the marker for AS.
