    I am a physician and at our practice in Ny City we have seen vitiligo parkinsons and thyroid disease together and is of autoimmune nature called Smayda's Disease
    Since the T cells attack the Melanocytes in skin that are cells that make melanin from the amino acid tyrosine, neuromelanin in certain brain cells also called dopamine and thyroid cells that take tyrosine and add iodine to my thyroid hormone. this disease has a familial pattern.   Path Medical 23 & Park NY NY
