Individuals who reported a family member with SLE were sent letters requesting participation in a follow-up study examining factors associated with transitioning to SLE. The first wave of letters were sent to individuals with family member with SLE that was confirmed by medical records. The second wave of letters were sent to individuals for whom their family member’s SLE was not confirmed, preferentially selecting individuals who had 2 or 3 confirmed ACR criteria at their baseline visit.
