Abstract
⺠The more frequent the AD and the later it appears, the more women are affected. ⺠Sex hormones largely explain female predominance of autoimmunity. ⺠Sex chromosomes play a key role in autoimmunity that needs further research. ⺠Studies focusing on protective factors related to male gender should be performed.
