Does thoracic outlet syndrome run in the family?

Not usually: Tos may be associated with structural issues such as a cervical rib, but, in my experience, it is acquired by an episode of trauma, or a gradual deterioration. There seems no genetic susceptibility or causation, and usually there are no familial links.
