Rheumatoid Arthritis Pharmocology

 People inherit an increased risk of developing osteoarthritis, not the condition itself. This predisposition can be passed through generations in families, but the inheritance pattern is unknown. OA tends to run in the family, especially if you have genetic joint defects. You're more likely to suffer from OA symptoms if your parents, grandparents, or siblings have the condition. Heredity can play a role in osteoarthritis, as individuals born with other bone diseases or genetic traits may be more likely to develop osteoarthritis. For example, Ehlers-Danlos, which is characterized by joint laxity or hypermobility, can contribute to osteoarthritis. Even though it's called non inflammatory arthritis, OA can still result in some inflammation of the joints. The difference is that this inflammation probably results from wear and tear. OA happens when a joint's cartilage breaks down.
