Chris Kresser: The whole modern lifestyle essentially can trigger or provoke autoimmunity. There’s many, many, many potential causes of autoimmunity. So any of those and as for why make, why antibodies to TTG6 versus TTG2 versus TTG3, we don’t really know. I mean, that’s an individual expression thing. So it probably comes down to some genetic predisposition there that when the triggers that provoked autoimmunity were present in this patient, that activated that predisposition and he or she made antibodies to TTG6. Whereas somebody else would make antibodies to TTG2 or 3 or something else entirely, maybe mylan.
