What Role Do Genetics Play in Autoimmune Responses to Toxins?
Genetics play a significant role in determining an individualâs susceptibility to autoimmune diseases. Certain genetic predispositions can make individuals more vulnerable to developing autoimmune responses upon exposure to specific toxicants. It is believed that genetic variations can affect how the immune system responds to environmental triggers, influencing the likelihood and severity of autoimmune diseases. Gene-environment interactions are a key area of research in understanding how genetic factors and toxicological exposures converge to affect autoimmune health.
