For a long time, the only incirminated factor was female hormones (estrogens) but this explanation was insufficient because estrogens may even have, under certain circumstances, a protective anti-inflammatory role. In recent years, other interesting original explanations have been made. It is likely that the female X chromosome plays a major role because it carries many genes of immunity. The expression and regulation of these genes could be disrupted in major autoimmune diseases such as lupus. Other phenomena such as fetal-maternal microchimerism, which is the exchange of cells (especially lymphocytes) during pregnancy through the placenta, may also play a role. So, systemic autoimmune diseases, such as lupus or localized forms of an organ (such as thyroiditis), preferentially affect women. For example, lupus or Sjögren's syndrome are fe...
