Welcome @mmleal, Yes autoimmune diseases can be genetic. Here's some information on the topic.

"Autoimmune diseases do tend to run in families, which means that certain genes may make some people more likely to develop a problem. Viruses, certain chemicals, and other things in the environment may trigger an autoimmune disease if you already have the genes for it."
