Thanks for the responses. I just want to make sure if I develop the disease it can be caught early. I watched my grandfather die of cirrhosis (not autoimmune) and it is scary, especially as doctors tell me antimitochondrial antibodies are associated with the disease and studies I've read say that most people with the antibodies get the disease.

People don't check for antimitochondrial antibody in the absence of abnormal liver tests so this is not true at all
What about the ones outside of IDs  like MEVF, MKD, Still's, etc. Would genetic testing be worth it for OP to ask about ?
I like your thinking. You are covering a huge base. But until and unless we are privvy to all histories, blood work up and labs, we are just conjuncturing possibilities.Regarding genetic test, I do agree that it can be done. The PCP in this case has to make a decision!
