Testosterone hormone that is found in both men and women is responsible for it, but women later gets low into it because of pregnancy and mensuration cycle. There are evidences that people who are low in testosterone hormone are more prone to rheumatoid arthritis.

So, this is the only genetic factor which is responsible for high rate of rheumatoid Arthritis in women.
