Autoimmune diseases and their management are one of the most challenging problems of modern society. These types of diseases are far more commonly seen in women than in men. We believe that understanding the reasons for the sex-based differences in autoimmune diseases can play a significant role in managing the patients. This review summarizes the most important contributors to gender-based disparity, such as the X chromosome, sex hormones, micro-RNA, and microbiota.
