“…Similarly, sibling risk ratios were increased for thrombocytopenia, discoid rash, neurological involvement and haemolytic anaemia in lupus patients and seropositivity, nodules and age at diagnosis showed familial clustering among RA patients [2829]. These observations all point to the complex aetiologies underlying diverse inflammatory diseases/syndromes including BS [30].…”

“…The incidence of most individual autoimmune diseases is low, but in composite, autoimmune diseases affect 5–7% of the population. While clinicians have long been aware of the presence of multiple autoimmune diseases within a single family, it has taken time for researchers to incorporate this observation into their studies (1). It is the recent recognition that autoimmune diseases need to be considered, at a genetic and mechanistic level, as a related group of diseases that has helped propel the field forward.…”

“…Η εγκυρότητα, πάντως, των δύο τελευταίων µελετών, φαίνεται ότι πάσχει από µεροληψίες εντοπισµού και αναγνώρισης των περιστατικών της νόσου (detection bias)[10]. Πολύ πιο έγκυρη απάντηση στο θέµα της οικογενειακής συρροής της ΝΙΑ και µάλλον οριστικά συµπεράσµατα[28] εµφανίζεται να δίνει πρόσφατη µελέτη[29] ανάλυσης ζευγών αδελφών (sibpair analysis), η οποία αναφέρεται σε 164 ζεύγη µη διδύµων αδελφών προσβεβληµένων από ΝΙΑ, καταγεγραµµένα στο JRA ASP Registry. Πρόκειται για τη µεγαλύτερη σχετική µελέτη, που έχει δηµοσιευθεί µέχρι σήµερα, και το δείγµα της θεωρείται απολύτως αντιπροσωπευτικό, αφού αντιστοιχεί στο ∼50% ASPs από ΝΙΑ στις ΗΠΑ.…”
