A member asked:
What are the statistics regarding 3 people in one immediate family being affected by lupus? dr suspects my 16 yo (high ana etc)-3rd in family
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibility increase: Because there is a hereditary componenet involved in systemic lupus, other family members may also be affected. However, close relatives of individuals with lupus may have a positive ANA without clinical disease. Your daughter needs an evaluation by a rheumatologist if she has not undergone one already.

Is it likely that I have ANA (1:640 nucleolar, 1:320 speckled) just because my mother had lupus/MCTD and ctd's ran in her family? Should I be screened for cancer (MRIs etc.) as I read case studies of ANA+ca? No symptoms of any disease, blood etc. ok.
