%X Autoimmune diseases (AIDs) are immune system disorders where the body exhibits an immune response to its own antigens, causing damage to its own tissues and organs. The pathogenesis of AIDs is incompletely understood. However, recent advances in immune repertoire sequencing (IR-seq) technology have opened-up a new avenue to study the IR. These studies have revealed the prevalence in IR alterations, potentially inducing AIDs by disrupting immune tolerance and thereby contributing to our comprehension of AIDs. IR-seq harbors significant potential for the clinical diagnosis, personalized treatment, and prognosis of AIDs. This article reviews the application and progress of IR-seq in diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, and type 1 diabetes, to enhance our understanding of the pathogenesis of AIDs and offer valuable references for the diagnosis and treatment of AIDs.
