Is There a Genetic Component to Hoarding?

Between two and six percent of the population could be considered either by themselves or by their loved ones to have a problem with hoards it's also quite a public problem since I've been thinking about this stuff. As we all age and and our children decide that the stuff we have is not just stuff we like but is a hoard we'll have to come up with other explanations for it, he says. There's some evidence that it has a heritable with not a genetic component in that often people with ho orders in their close family also become hoarders.
