What Causes Autoimmunity?
Although autoimmune disorders are still poorly understood, research is starting to identify certain genetic, hormonal and environmental risk factors that contribute to these disorders. If you have a certain gene or combination of genes, you may be at higher risk for autoimmune disease.
You won’t, however, get the disease until something around you switches on your immune system. This may include exposure to the sun, infections, drugs or, in some women, pregnancy.
