There is literature documenting a higher incidence of allergies in patients with autoimmune disorders.

BACH2 is one of the gene's being investigated for it's role in allergies & auto-immune disorders, and tregs, which is why I keep bringing them up on this thread.

- pfannkuchen 3y agoI think what you are implying above is that we can take a study or survey about autoimmune disease and use it to make conclusions about allergies. All I am saying is that this does not logically follow, because the two are not the same and “allergy” is not a strict subclass of “autoimmune disease”. The specific details of the mechanism are not relevant to the logical point unless those details establish a subclass or identity relationship (which here they do not).
