Peru study seeks genetic clues to mysterious autoimmune diseases
NCT ID NCT06948110
Summary
This study aims to understand why autoimmune diseases like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis often appear earlier and are more severe in people of Peruvian ancestry compared to European populations. Researchers will collect blood, urine, and stool samples from 300 participants with autoimmune diseases, their family members, and healthy volunteers in Peru. By analyzing genes, environment, and gut bacteria, they hope to discover new factors that contribute to these conditions in understudied populations.
