Lupus inheritable?

Before my mother passed away, she was diagnosed with SLE. I have PsA (psoriatic arthritis) which is also an auto-immune disease. What are the chances that I also will develope SLE?
Thanks for any info.

I have read many millions of things about Lupus and autoimmune diseases.  Basically, what I've read is that ANY autoimmune problem in ANY person in your family lineage means that autoimmune problems run in your family.  So, if your grandpa has GOUT, you could end up with Lupus, or just a lot of food allergies.  You could end up with ANY NUMBER OF AUTOIMMUNE PROBLEMS.  I bet that PsA is also an autoimmune problem and it may be the only problem you ever have.  Don't worry about the "what ifs".  Just enjoy life while it's good.  Do what ever activities your body allows today, cause you don't know if you can do it tomorrow!

Thanks so much for your input! Lord knows I have enough problems without adding yet another "what if" to the stew!
And your advice to just live in the here and now is right on. There is so much the PsA has already taken away from me...................what may come down the pike tomorrow is out of my hands, so to hell with it!
Again, thanks!
Peace
