Genetics/epigenetics: Play role in so much that we go through throughout life however even as we know a lot there's much we don't know. In general there's not a preponderance of evidence to suggest the trigger finger is genetic but there's some people who seem to get them more people come in talking about family members all the time The hard part is like arthritis it's common so everyone's grand mother has/had it.

No: Though we have not identified a genetic cause for trigger fingers, I have found anecdotally that some people have a genetic predisposition to getting trigger fingers. In other words, I have had patients with trigger fingers who told me that one of their parents also had a trigger finger. Diabetes can increase your chance of developing a trigger finger.
