There is definitely a genetic component. PMR and GCA are the most common in people from Scandinavia and northern Europe and their descendants. I have PMR and GCA, and my genetic test said I was 90 percent from the UK, and 9 percent Scandinavian.

I must be the exception to the rule… my ancestry is from Asia Minor. I guess it’s not improbable that I could have genes from the parts of the world of people who are more susceptible to PMR but I’ve never had an ancestral analysis done.
All I know is that my mother had it and that is my genetic link.
I suppose that centuries ago people may have migrated to Asia Minor from those countries. And I am more light skinned compared to others in my culture… so who knows?🤷🏻♀️
