Researchers want to understand why autoimmune diseases like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and Sjögren's syndrome affect people differently depending on their ancestry and background. This study will collect blood samples and genetic information from people with these conditions and from healthy family members and community members, focusing especially on indigenous and Latin American populations who have been understudied in genetic research.
People from certain backgrounds get autoimmune diseases earlier in life and have worse outcomes, but we don't fully understand why. There is a major gap in genetic research for non-European populations, so this study aims to identify genetic factors that may explain these health differences and help improve diagnosis and treatment for everyone.

If you join this study, you will be asked to provide a blood sample that researchers will use for genetic analysis. You may also be asked to share some basic health information. The study is being conducted in Peru and other parts of Latin America, and researchers will work with local clinics and physicians to make participation as accessible as possible.
