NGS technologies have played a crucial role in the study and diagnosis of autoimmune diseases, particularly in autoimmune connective tissue diseases, with panels, whole-genome and -exome sequencing, and HLA widely used. Despite the wide scope of research areas, it seems that epigenetic influence on the development of systemic autoimmune diseases may set important trends for future studies.
NGS technologies have transformed clinical diagnostics and broadly used from neonatal emergencies to adult conditions where the diagnosis cannot be made based on clinical symptoms. Autoimmune diseases reveal complicate molecular background and traditional methods could not fully capture them. Certainly, NGS technologies meet the needs of modern exploratory research, diagnostic and pharmacotherapy. Therefore, the main purpose of this review was to briefly present the application of NGS technology used in recent years in the understanding of autoimmune diseases paying particular attention to autoimmune connective tissue diseases. The main issues are presented in four parts: (a) panels, whole-genome and -exome sequencing (WGS and WES) in diagnostic, (b) Human leukocyte antigens (HLA) as a diagnostic tool, (c) RNAseq, (d) microRNA and (f) microbiome. Although all these areas of research are extensive, it seems that epigenetic impact on the development of systemic autoimmune diseases will set trends for future studies on this area.
