| These compounds adversely affect the immune system, primarily causing cell-mediated immune deficiency, allergy, and autoimmunity. |
| These genes explain the tendency for autoimmunity to run in families, with variable expressions of disease in affected individuals. |
| However, in some individuals, this state of tolerance is broken, resulting in autoimmunity. |
| In the short term, he would like to see progress in autoimmunity, and research to develop treatments and therapies to help prevent complications. |
| Any misstep can either lead to a flawed immune defense or to allergy, even autoimmunity. |
| There is no vaccine, and none is likely because the role of autoimmunity in pathogenesis is under dispute. |
