Is Relapsing Polychondritis hereditary?
Here you can see if Relapsing Polychondritis can be hereditary. Do you have any genetic components? Does any member of your family have Relapsing Polychondritis or may be more predisposed to developing the condition?
It is not believed to be hereditary. But Autoimmune Disease is considered hereditary.

I think possibly. My Grandmother died from Lupus in the 1980's & Autoimmune Disorders were not well understood. I've heard of multiple stories of multiple family members being sick.

No, but genetics have been thought to play a role.

In my family no one suffered from this disease, unlikely to be hereditary.
