g SLE Susceptibility Genes"

The Foundation's national research program, Bringing Down the Barriers, also supports important studies in areas of research that have been neglected or underfunded in the past, including pediatric/adolescent lupus, lupus in males, and mid-to-late stage translational research. The program also provides research grants for cutaneous (skin) lupus, kidney disease and lupus, and the cognitive effects of lupus. The program is made possible in part through donations from individuals, corporations, foundations, and a nationwide network of LFA chapters and support groups. In addition, LFA advocates have been effective in advancing lupus research and education programs conducted by the federal government, and secured millions of additional research dollars for studies on lupus supported through the National Institutes of Health, the Department of Defense, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

About Lupus

Lupus is an acute and chronic autoimmune disease in which the immune system is unbalanced, causing inflammation and tissue damage to virtually any organ in the body. Its health effects include heart attacks, strokes, seizures, miscarriages, and organ failure. Ninety percent of the people with lupus are women, and it is two to three times more common among African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, Native Americans, and Asians.

About the Lupus Foundation of America

The LFA is the foremost national nonprofit voluntary health organization dedicated to finding the causes of and cure for lupus, and providing support, services, and hope to all people affected by lupus. Founded in 1977, the LFA has a nationwide network of nearly 300 chapters and support groups and operates programs of research, education, and advocacy. For further information about LFA's National Research Program, please contact Susan Drinan Bowes, Manager, Education & Re
