These syndromes include conditions in which autoimmunity is clearly implicated as causal, in light of identification of autoantibodies to relevant autoantigens; diseases suspected to be autoimmune because of the presence of autoantibodies, although the autoreactive response has not been proven to be pathogenic and could be a consequence or marker of tissue damage; and other diseases often considered to be «autoimmune,» such as psoriasis or inflammatory bowel disease, characterized by organ - targeted inflammation but without evidence of a stimulating autoantigen.
