Many questions: There is familial dysautomia but uncertain about the other other associations. Some cases with gluten have been reported. Mycobacterium avium is an infectious disease and not related to the other conditions. Gluten is a different condition also. There is intolerance to gluten and treatment involves a gluten free diet.

Autism is not asso-: Ciated with familial dysautonomia. Fd is an autosomal recessive disorder from mutations in a gene on chromosome 9 found almost exclusively in people of ashkenazi jewish descent. Indifference to pain & temperature, depression, anxiety with phobias & extreme reactions to physical/emotional stress occur in fd. 7% of children with & without autism have gluten enteropathy, diagnosed by lab tests.
