Is systemic lupus erythematosus hereditary?

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has a certain genetic probability. Genetic factors play a very important role in the pathogenesis of SLE. HLA-DR2 and HLA-DR3 loci of human tissue-associated antigens are closely related to the occurrence of SLE. In addition, according to epidemiological and familial statistics, the incidence of first-degree relatives and identical twins is very high. Although SLE has a certain genetic probability, it is not infectious. Therefore, when suffering from SLE, do not worry about passing it to your family. If diagnosed with this disease, regular treatment must be given as soon as possible, otherwise it will cause multiple organ and system diseases.
