The goal of this new lupus research study is two-fold: first, to understand the genetic
associations found between people's DNA and this disease, and second, to apply this
understanding to drug development efforts with the investigator's partners at Pfizer.
associations found between people's DNA and this disease, and second, to apply this
understanding to drug development efforts with the investigator's partners at Pfizer.
Lupus is a difficult disease to diagnose and one that's difficult to manage, given the lack
of specific medicines to treat lupus and the side-effects of current medications. The
investigators believe genetics may play a critical role in developing better lupus diagnoses
and treatments. If individuals are eligible to participate, the investigators will send a
23andMe DNA saliva kit at no cost. Participants will be asked to take a 15 minute online
survey with questions about their lupus experience, symptoms and response to treatments, in
addition to five additional bi-monthly short surveys and one final study survey during the
12-month participation. Learn more and join the lupus study today:
