The provided text explores the significant female predominance in autoimmune diseases, highlighting that approximately 80% of affected individuals are women. It explains how this disparity stems from a complex interaction of genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors. Specifically, the text details the influence of X-chromosome genetics, including the Xist RNP complex, and the modulating effects of sex hormones, particularly estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Furthermore, it discusses how external environmental triggers and the gut microbiome contribute to disease onset and progression. Finally, the sources emphasize the clinical implications of these sex differences, affecting diagnosis, disease severity, and the effectiveness of treatments, advocating for a sex-specific approach in future autoimmune disease research and patient care.
