Considering the previous example, the parallelism between MS and PD results intriguing: (i) both inflammatory disorders involve an autoimmune component mediated by CD4+ T-cells specific for central nervous system antigens, (ii) in both cases gut microbiota seems to play a key role triggering the activation of autoreactive T-cells in the gut mucosa, and (iii) the risk to develop both pathologies involve a genetic association with HLA-polymorphism. This evidence concerns the gene CD4 and myeloid sarcoma.
