Hello Cyril123,
MSA and Sjogren's are not related; MSA is a progressive neurological condition that doesn't follow in families. Sjogren's is an auto immune condition related to Lupus and Arthritis, usually managed by a Rheumatologist. There is an increased risk if a family member has it.
Kind regards, Samantha.
