A member asked:

How does a person find the root problem of graves disease?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Not feasible: Other than infections and trauma, we often do not know the root problem of most diseases, including Graves. It is a disorder of the immune system, but so are many other diseases.

Grave's disease: is an autoimmune disorder, the exact cause is not certain. It is probably a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
