    My father had full onset of vitiligo at age 17.  He now has Myasthenia Gravis, full blown in crisis, at age 69.  We are Choctaw indian, and EVERY person in our family and extended family has an autoimmune disease.  The onset almost every time has been triggered. i.e. heat stroke, allergic reaction, extreme stress,....  It manifests itself differently in each individual.  Lupus, RA, diabetes, food allergies, thyroidism  (hypo & hyper).  I pray for breakthroughs in gene therapy.  (We live in Oklahoma)
