Exploring the Interplay Between the Gut Microbiome and Genetic Factors in Autoimmune Disorders

Abstract

Richard Brink*

Autoimmune disorders refer to a group of diseases that occur when the immune system attacks healthy cells in the body. These diseases are often characterized by chronic inflammation and can affect different organs and tissues in the body, including the joints, skin and digestive tract. Autoimmune disorders are thought to arise from the interplay between genetic and environmental factors. Recent studies have highlighted the importance of the gut micro biome in modulating immune function and its potential role in the development of autoimmune disorders.
