Genetically determined cause for stretch marks?

The cause of stretch marks seems to partly go back to the genes.

A recent study found specific genes that cause some people to form more stretch marks than others. Stretch marks are caused by a rapid increase in weight, such as a growth spurt during puberty, bodybuilding whether pregnancy. This recent research may lead to better preventive treatments for stretch marks. Previously, treatments (such as with a laser) were mainly aimed at improving collagen instead of elastin. With current insights, we know that the treatments that aim to improve Elastin in the skin (such as Carboxytherapy, microneedling and glycolic acid peeling) give the best results, but of course it would be even better if we could prevent stretch marks! Developments are moving fast, but for now it is prevention of stretch marks still reserved for carboxytherapy and microneeling. Original article about the genetic cause of stretch marks in English
