Scientists don’t know exactly why some people develop Graves’ disease, but they believe factors such as age, sex, heredity, and emotional and environmental stress are involved.
Graves’ disease usually occurs in people younger than age 40 and is five to 10 times more common in women than men. An individual’s chance of developing Graves’ disease increases if other family members have it.
Researchers have not been able to find a specific gene that causes the disease to be passed from one generation to the next. Scientists know that some people inherit an immune system that can make antibodies against healthy cells, but predicting who will be affected is difficult.
People with other autoimmune diseases have an increased chance of developing Graves’ disease. [[Type 1 diabetes]], [[rheumatoid arthritis]], and [[vitiligo—a disorder]] in which some parts of the skin are not pigmented—are among the conditions associated with Graves’ disease.

Overview

The most potent risk factor in the development of Graves' disease is genetic susceptibility. Other risk factors include infections, stress and smoking.

Risk Factors

This table summarizes the risk factors for Graves' disease.

Risk Factors Graves' disease
Genetic susceptibility
  • The concordance rate in monozygotic twins is 20 to 40 percent.
Infection There are some possible infection that may predispose patient to Graves' disease
Stress Some psychotic stress disorders are more common among Graves' patients.[4][5]
Smoking It is associated with Graves' disease and Graves' ophthalmopathy.[6]
