No, it is a purely genetic condition.

No, arthrogryposis is not contagious. You do not catch it from another person, and it is not spread by contact, sex, saliva, blood, sneezing, or anything like that. It is a congenital condition, meaning it develops before birth, and AMC is linked to decreased fetal movement during development from causes such as genetic changes, chromosomal problems, syndromes, or some pregnancy related factors.
