I also found this very interesting! Thanks for sharing it.

My mother has rheumatoid arthritis. I have a sister that has now been dx'd with ulcerative colitis. I have multiple sclerosis. My brother and myself have had psoriasis. My dad has Type 2 diabetes, so I don't know if that is included, and at the age of 77, just dx'd with the late form of leukemia.

There is something in our genes that is messing with our immune systems, obviously. It was interesting that three of our diseases are linked with the common T-cell part.

I can't wait to share this info with my family.
