Here you can see if Small Fiber Neuropathy can be hereditary. Do you have any genetic components? Does any member of your family have Small Fiber Neuropathy or may be more predisposed to developing the condition?
Disclaimer - I hold a disgnosis not a medical degree.
Quite possibly. More research in this very question is ongoing. I have not yet found a positive Yes or No, except for several hereditary autoimmune disorders which point to SFN - which in these cases - Yes it is.
Some causes of Small Fiber Neuropathy are hereditary such as Ehlers-Danlos, Charcot Marie Tooth, and channelopathies. That is why it is important to continue to look for the cause.
