Allergies and Auto-immunity are both pathologies of the adaptive immune system "incorrectly" targeting things. Regulatory t cells, "tregs", modulate this.
My point is that while there may be some broad commonality (with physics being a hyperbolic commonality in the example I gave), this does not mean that there are no differences and that we can always infer information about one from information about the other (though in some cases we can).
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.
I 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).
