    • Clinical Data
    • Serum
    • Plasma
    • DNA

This information and biologic material is used by 1) Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation Lupus Genetics Studies and 2) other LFRR-approved scientists to

  • Identify the genes involved in the development of lupus
  • Determine these genes’ role(s) in disease activity
  • Study various aspects of the disease (such as autoantibodies)
  • Develop better treatment for patients who suffer from this serious illness &
  • One day, find a cure or method of disease prevention
