👉 Rheumatogenic refers to a type of autoimmune disease that affects the joints, particularly in the hands and feet. This condition causes inflammation in these areas, leading to pain, swelling, and stiffness. It is characterized by an immune reaction against the body's own tissues or cells, which can lead to joint damage and other symptoms. Rheumatogenic diseases are often caused by a genetic mutation that triggers an autoimmune response, but there may be a link between environmental factors and increased risk of developing these conditions
