Objective. To analyze recent evidence on the influence of genetic and environmental factors in the development of autoimmune diseases (AIDs), with emphasis on autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Method. An analytical review of recent studies published in biomedical databases was conducted, including clinical, genetic, and epidemiological research addressing the interplay between hereditary predisposition and environmental exposure. Results. Findings indicate that AIDs show strong familial aggregation and significant associations with specific genetic variants. Nevertheless, environmental factors such as diet and endocrine disruptors modulate gene expression and alter gut microbiota composition, which may enhance abnormal immune responses and contribute to allergic and immunological comorbidities. Conclusions. The development of AIDs results from a multifactorial interaction between genetic susceptibility and environmental influences. Understanding these integrated mechanisms is crucial to design more accurate preventive and therapeutic approaches for their management.
