A member asked:
How likely is it that i could have inherited an auto immune disease from my family?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: Some autoimmune diseases are very hereditable, some to a lesser extent. But the answer is yes! keep in mind that type 2 diabetes is much more likely to be passed down than most autoimmune diseases!
