  • Autoimmune diseases lead to diverse patterns of inflammation and organ dysfunction.
  • Autoantibodies are valuable markers for diagnosis, classification and of disease activity.
  • Although T cells play a key part in disease, their assessment is challenging.
  • Autoimmune disease reflects the interplay of genetic and environmental factors.
  • Pre-clinical autoimmune disease provides a window of time for early or preventive treatment.
