Funded Activity Summary

Systemic lupus erythematosus is a debilitating disease that predominantly affects women of child-bearing age and may involve any organ. Genetics is one of the most well-recognised risk factors, and yet how genetics can cause lupus is unclear. This study involves examining the entire genetic sequence of individual patients to identify the mutations that cause the immune system to be dysregulated leading to disease.
