Hello,
It is 99th percentile for a two-year-old. Even though you as her father is six feet five inches she needs evaluation for certain medical conditions called Marfan's and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and if everything is normal, then you can rest assured that it is genetic because of your height.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
