Is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / M.E. hereditary?
Here you can see if Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / M.E. can be hereditary. Do you have any genetic components? Does any member of your family have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / M.E. or may be more predisposed to developing the condition?
Big question mark!!!!!

I don't know.
Even if my dad says my grandad was often in bed and was very very "lazy"...

Connective tissue disorder - which causes extreme fatigue and other health issues - is hereditary. Read about Elvis and his grandmother and their preference for lying down here:

The description "lazy" reminded me of Elvis's mother:
Gladys's sister Lillian Reported Gladys to always be "lazy as a hog" And shirking her housework but she could rise to the occasion'.

There's no evidence for this.

It's not known for sure but generally thought not to be

I do not know. I have not yet been tested for the genetic components that may contribute to the disease.

It can be yes
Some family members have got it at same time
Apart from that i do not have the answers or knowledge

I have heard of families where more than one person has it. It is not that common but it does happen. Otherwise I do not have the answers.

Possibly. Look for patterns in your own family.

it is not hereditary
but every disease has a group that is more prone to it
it is not a women's disease
the pediatric cases are about 50/50 male to female
somehow the males fall off the roles after early 20s
not sure how or why this happens

CFS/ME is caused by chemical pollution in our air, soil, water, food, built environment, and consumer products. Genetics plays maybe a 5% role.

That is a big question mark??? Many in the same family do have ME.

There is a genetic component, but it is not 100% hereditary. You often see people having multiple cases in one family (often mother and daughter), but there are a lot more cases where that isn't the case. There is currently a big genetic study ongoing in the UK that hopefully will provide some more answers.

No, although the answer is not known.

As I said in the last question, I think that MS can be genetic. I have heard of cases of relatives that suffer from the same condition.
There are abnormalities in the mitochondria.
