I was diagnosed with Lichen Schlerosus 6 months ago & last week my brother was diagnosed with Lichen Planus. Is there any hereditary links with these?

They are not classified as autoimmune conditions, however there is a community that believes they are. I have found that treating them as such has given me good results in treatment.
There is some evidence to show there is a genetic predisposition to the conditions. My mother and grandmother each had one or both. I have both. I believe a nephew has LP and a cousin has LS.
