I had a post ready to go that said almost the same thing. That is what I've been told by several *experts*, including one at Michigan State. They said point blank it was a genetic fault that was autoimmune in nature--but that there are environmental impacts involved as well. Actually I believe autoimmune disorders are basically genetic in nature but that environment plays a larger role into whether or not the defect develops than it does in most other genetic defects.
