This study intends to investigate the genetic and environmental risk factors involved in the development of myositis, an autoimmune muscle disease that causes chronic muscle weakness.

The goal of this study is to examine the genetic and environmental risk factors in the development of autoimmune diseases in twins and same-sex siblings, when one has an autoimmune disease and the other does not.

This study will evaluate subjects with adult- and childhood-onset myositis to learn more about their causes and the immune system changes and medical problems associated with them.
