Genetics
The common cold causes many sore throats, but it could be from genetic issues too. For example, if you have a family history of sore throats, you might have an increased risk of having them yourself. In addition, genetic factors cause some conditions that lead to recurrent sore throats. One such example is the autoimmune disorder known as autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1 (APS-1). It causes an increased production of antibodies, which eventually causes the body to attack itself.
Genetics has been shown to affect the body’s response to certain illnesses, including sore throats and colds. A person’s susceptibility to developing certain conditions is based on their family history, which determines what they may have inherited from their parents (or other relatives). The condition can then be passed down through generations. For example, some research has proven that people with a family history of sore throats or who have developed sore throats in the past are at greater risk of getting them again. This is because they have decreased salivary mucin concentration.
