An autoimmune disease is any condition in which the body's own immune system mistakenly identifies its own cells, tissues and/or organs as harmful agents and attacks them. While milder forms of autoimmune disorders may only cause the occasional discomfort, serious cases of autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis or lupus, are extremely debilitating and life threatening. Although researchers are still searching for the precise causes of autoimmune diseases, genetics have been identified as one of the leading risk factors for autoimmune diseases.
