Allergies, Type I Diabetes, Genetic link?

by Robin Nixon on 04/27/15

A study published last week in Nature Communications has identified a gene that is being touted as the "missing link" between overactive and under active immune disorders. It is also thought to play a critical part in causing allergies, type I diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune disorders. 


Not to be too flippant, but perhaps it can just be thought of as the gene for Immune-System-Gone-Haywire?
