Is Tarlov Cyst hereditary?

Here you can see if Tarlov Cyst can be hereditary. Do you have any genetic components? Does any member of your family have Tarlov Cyst or may be more predisposed to developing the condition?

There is an underlying component of hereditary connective tissue disorders in Tarlov cyst patients. A patient does not always have to have this condition, but can have a family member(s) with this condition (even without cysts) but still get the Tarlov cysts themselves.
But there are also patients who themselves or do not have a family member with an associated connective tissue disorder, or who probably do not know yet.

I think they are studying that now. My twin sister was just diagnosed with one.

I was one of 24 people who gave dna for study in Dr Murphy's testing. To date,none of the participants have been given information pertaining to the results. I would really like to see them

Not in the truest sense of the word. They are often caused by a connective tissue disease which is hereditary. But even with that, not every member of a family with a CTD will manifest in the same way.

There are different theories on this. In my research I have found that a person can be born with them.

No studies have been done to answer that question.

No one knows the answer to this question.

Not that I'm aware of

There are underlying conditions that are hereditary and carry a risk of getting the cysts.

In addition, there is medical evidence that collagen mutations or Connective Tissue Disorders such as Marfans Syndrome, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, Sjögren's, Loeys-Dietz, Lupus, MTCD (Mixed Connective Tissue Disorders), UCTD (Undierentiated Connective Tissue Disorders) can update to the development of cysts. There are many
patients with Tarlov cysts who also have any of the above conditions or a family member who has a
of the above conditions with or without Tarlov Cysts. As far as is known from the medical history, is that there is therefore a genetic basis for the development of the cysts and that the disease is chronic. In some families there are several people with the overpressure syndrome and/or/ Tarlov cysts, but it is mainly women who are affected. However, men can also get this disease. What has been reported so far in the medical studies is that the cysts are often at a somewhat start to become symptomatic later in life, but it is now known that this can also be done at a very young age occur, even in infants/babies.

Tarlov-cysten kunnen erfelijk zijn maar dit hoeft niet, hier is nog te weinig onderzoek naar gedaan.

It is not known if Tarlov Cyst Disease has a genetic factor therefore it is unknown if TCD is hereditary.

Science still is studying that

Still it is not known whether the Cysts Tarlov can be hereditary or not. Perhaps you can have a genetic component, or just environmental. More research is needed to clarify this point.
