Clustering of autoimmune disease in parents of siblings from the Type 1 diabetes Warren repository

Abstract: These data confirm the importance of family history as a significant risk factor for the development of Type 1 diabetes and support the hypothesis that the common autoimmune diseases share at least some aetiological mechanisms.

“…There is increasing evidence that autoimmune diseases share some common risk factors. Evidence for shared susceptibility genes is obtained from the observation that several autoimmune diseases tend to cluster in the same families, 1 and also that the chromosomal regions showing linkage to autoimmune diseases tend to overlap. 2,3 Consequently, when a potential risk factor for an autoimmune disease is discovered, it is of interest to investigate whether the novel risk factor is also involved in other autoimmune diseases.…”

“…Clinically different autoimmune phenotypes may share common susceptibility genes, which may act as risk factors for autoimmunity. Evidence for shared susceptibility genes is obtained from the observation that several autoimmune diseases tend to cluster in the same families 1,2 and also that the chromosomal regions showing linkage to autoimmune diseases tend to overlap. 3,4 One of the key points in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases is the regulation of the T-cell response.…”
