Description:
Article Autoimmune diseases are genetically complex disorders that affect up to 10% of the Western population. Here Li et al . quantify the heritability of a range of autoimmune diseases in the largest paediatric cohort examined to date, illustrating that genetic and non-genetic components variably contribute to the susceptibility of each disease.
