Diseases
Modern-day Melungeons have found an intriguing link between their peculiar diseases and those of eastern Mediterranean. Diseases identified in the Melungeon population include thallasemia, Behcet's Syndrome, Machado-Joseph (Azorean) Disease, sarcoidosis, and Familial Mediterranean Fever.

======================
I think we have already eliminated sarcoidosis and Machado-Joseph as 'intriguing links' to eastern Mediterranean [Turkey]and the Melungeon population as one of their 'peculiar diseases' -- would anyone who has family that has been diagnosed with 'thallasemia,or Behcet's Syndrome'please contact me for a paper I am writing... no names will be used.
Thanks,
Joanne Pezzullo
