Yes, it's common for family members to have autoimmune issues of different types.
Unfortunately, it's also common for one autoimmune disease to be accompanied by others.

There are some families who have MG run in it. Some people never get an AI when a sibling has one. It's so damned random!

Some day they'll figure out why some people get sick and others don't.
