Abstract :
An autoimmune disorder is a condition that occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys healthy body parts. The epidemiology of these diseases is a matter of study and discussion, with many published results worldwide. We have critically collected more than 100 publications, analyzing autoimmune diseases´ frequencies in various populations and ethnic groups. Simultaneously, we developed a web application in order to host the collected data. By utilizing Microsoft Silverlight technology, we have built a multimedia web frontend, in order to support a high level visualization of the data and the mining process. In parallel we continue the data mining process and the update of our database.
