Autoimmune diseases: insights from genome-wide association studies.

Human molecular genetics - 15 Oct 2008

Lettre Guillaume, Rioux John D

Abstract excerpt

Autoimmune diseases occur when an individual's own immune system attacks and destroys his or her healthy cells and tissues. Although it is clear that environmental stimuli can predispose someone to develop autoimmune diseases, twin- and family-based studies have shown that genetic factors also pl...
