The majority of autoimmune diseases have a strong gender bias, affecting mostly females. Gender-specific factors like sex-hormones, the presence or absence of a second X chromosome, and gender-specific gut microbiota may contribute to this bias. In this review we will discuss the role of the X chromosome encoded toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) and interferon gamma (IFN gamma) in the development of autoimmunity. We will also review recent data indicating how these factors may affect an immune response in a gender-dependent manner. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
