Genomic Monitoring of Lupus Patients. From Home.
From home genomic monitoring of immune-mediated diseases can help provide a better understanding of an individual’s health. The 1300+ lupus participant LIFT study demonstrates the ability to use self-collected fingerstick blood samples mailed from home to cost effectively monitor type 1 interferon levels and T-cell exhaustion markers in lupus.
