Hi Alison

Welcome from me.  I do not know the answer but am waiting to see if anyone else can answer.  I have a little boy who is 6 with Prader Willi Syndrome.

Hi Alison,

Great to hear from you!

I'm pretty sure that hypermobility can be hereditary, though as with most things there are many different causes and only some are hereditary. In fact I have a slightly hypermobile thumb joint and so does my Mum so there's the proof! Do you have a good consultant you can ask these sorts of questions to?

Welcome from me too.

We all have hypermobility here too, that's me and 3 children. They all also have Autism, Tourette's Syndrome, bowel problems, 2 have seizures and a few other things between them.

I hope you find some answers and that you enjoy the forum.
