Tb<lougerhigs Disease<ra<which Is Key to Alports?

My grandpa on my dad's side died of tb when she was 9 yrs old. Her sister tested positive for it. All 11 children died before age 59 from respitory problems,,,,not associated (by docs anyway) to the tb.


On my dads side,,dad had ra and his dad died when he was 13 of lou gerhigs disease..........


Wondering has anyone else with alports witnessed any of these diseases in the family..And..Or feel that they are genetically related to why we have the disease?
