It's more recently come to be known as yet another autoimmune disease. With these, there is a genetic predisposition -you may or may not inherit the gene -& from there, the gene has to be triggered into action. So inherently genetic? No. But this pattern does show us how sutoimmune diseases seem to show sporadically in some families, not in others at all & run rampant in the rest.
