Absolutely , The connective tissue disorder that I have is genetic. I am fourth-generation to be diagnosed with fibrosis. One of my children has spina bifida occulta. Many of my other family members have spinal disease as well.

It's not known yet, but there are people with Syringomyelia who have had children who have been diagnosed also at young ages. So its possible but not proven.
