Abstract Autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are known to have a strong genetic component, therefore the risk of autoimmune disease might be increased in family members of patients with SLE. However, there are currently no data that support a higher incidence of autoimmune disorders in the offspring of SLE patients. Babies with neonatal lupus are not at increased risk to develop SLE in later life, but a continued follow-up is suggested, especially prior to adolescence and if the mother herself has an autoimmune disease.
