Autoimmune Condition (Other) Susceptibility
Autoimmune diseases are multifactorial conditions, as both genetic and non-genetic factors are likely to play a role in the development of these diseases. Families in which there are multiple affected, close relatives are more likely to have a significant genetic component.
Clinical genetic testing for susceptibility to certain types of autoimmune conditions may be available through offline genetic testing providers if indicated by further evaluation and consultation with a trained genetic professional.
