Anyone with autoimmune disorders also?

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone!

At my recent visit with my endocrinologist (I have a history of

Graves disease as well as BPES), I showed him the paper from NORD

about Blepharophimosis syndrome. He was fascinated about the mention

of the FOX2 in the genetics section. He told me that he's doing

research in a related genetics area, and mentioned that there's a

protein inhibitor (or something like that!) located in a similar

place on the same chromosome; the protein inhibitor has something to

do with protection from auto immune disorders.

So he asked me to find out if there are instances of anyone else with

BPES who also have auto immune disorders (such as Lupus, Graves

Disease, Diabetes, etc.).

If you have an auto immune disorder as well as BPES, he would be very

grateful to find out, to see if they could be related. He asked me to

send him the results of this informal " survey. "

Thanks for your help!

Best wishes,

Loka
