most diseases are genetic. Meaning people have a tendency to have certain ones if they have certain genes.
Not all doctors understand everything. You have to keep that in mind when
you listen to answers from them.
Autoimmune diseases are inherited...the tendency. Not all manifest in everyone.
It is thought a trigger causes them..a viral trigger. This is true for diabetes Type I and with time we will learn more I expect. Fibromyalgia is thought to be inherited too. At the seminar I attended we were shown figures showing 8 fold increase in relatives who are related to Fibro patients. Fibro is also triggered.
So don't expect an answer that is yes/no. I don't think there is one.
