My mom has an autoimmune disease so what are the chances i could have one?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Here is my take: I do not know statistics regarding non-neurological disorders, but at least in ms, an autoimmune disease, the risk of mother passing to child is no more than 3-5%. So, unlikely that you have a high risk. Ask your mom's doctor to give you the statistics regarding her specifics.
