Lupus In Color
12th Annual Flight of the Butterflies
Spreading Lupus Awareness One Butterfly at a time
Let this butterfly flutter all over cyberspace!
Genes — which your parents pass down to you — help define your body’s features and traits. And scientists have identified more than 50 genes that are more common in people with lupus. In most cases, having these genes isn’t enough to cause lupus. But they do raise your risk of getting lupus, which is why having family members with lupus — or another autoimmune disease — makes it more likely that you’ll have lupus too.
No single gene or group of genes has been proven to cause lupus, although certain gene variations have been linked to lupus.(lupus.org)
This is your 30th Butterfly of Hope.
We need awareness! We need a cure!
Encourage everyone you know to let it FLY!
