Is arthritis genetic?

My grandmother has extreme arthritis in her hands. Her fingers are bent in different ways. Im just wondering if it is genetic, how you get arthritis (besides broken bones ect) and signs and symptoms.

Yes it is genetic. That does not mean you will definitely get it though,it just means the odds are better that you will.
