A member asked:
My brother has lupus and i've noticed some of the common symptoms in myself. what are the chances that i have the same condition?

Variable: There are several studies showing that there is a genetic linkage to lupus. A first degree relative with lupus gives you about a 10-12% chance of having lupus yourself.
