Check that website! It has a TON of detailed information. I had a friend in college that had Lupus and she was in and out of the hospital every month. I hope this isnt affecting someone close to you .. good luck!

Researchers believe that there is a genetic predisposition to develop lupus in certain people. It is not exactly hereditary. Atlhough we do see that if someone in a family has autoimmune disease like lupus, or any of the other 80+ autoimmunes, there is more likelihood of developing it.

At this point a it is believed that a certain combination of genes combined with a trigger cause the development of lupus. Of those who have the right gene combination only 10% will actually go on to develop lupus.
