yes it can be. Many syndromes are linked to heredity and genetically predisposed. However, there are some that are not. I recently learned that Zika virus has been linked to AMC as well. There are many syndromes.

I would say arthrogryposis can be hereditary in some cases, but not always. It is an umbrella term, so some forms have a clear genetic cause and can run in families, while others happen without a known inherited pattern. So yes, it can have genetic components, but that does not mean every case is inherited.
