It may or may not be genetic
If it is static, then it will not worse with age
If it is dynamic, then it will worse with time..
Brace is required to wear daily to prevent further progression

Its genetic and acquired both.
If genetic and starting at young age it can progress with time.
Physiotherapy exercises and external support braces help in some but not all the patients.
