Heredity in scoliosis.
I myself am a woman and scoliosis was discovered when I was 12 years old.
It would be a non-congenital defect.

Answer
The odds are slim, about 1/20, which isn’t much more than with other kids. You can’t see this before birth because scoliosis only develops in puberty. The chance is 7x greater with a girl.
It is usually a non-congenital disorder, but hereditary factors play a role.
