So You’ve Just Been Diagnosed with Lupus
Channel: MHSc Medical Genomics
Date: 2022-12-01

So you’ve just been diagnosed with lupus and you’re looking for more information. This educational webinar was created for you by graduate students in the University of Toronto’s Medical Genomics Program. 
 
We hope we’re able to answer some of your general questions about lupus (e.g., autoimmune 
diseases, similar diseases, and lupus symptoms) and medication options your health care provider may offer you to treat your symptoms (e.g., antimalarials, steroids, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, immunosuppressants, and monoclonal antibodies). We will also go over an interesting research study completed in 2022 that may become a treatment option for you in the near future!
