title: Understanding lupus: fishing genes out of mice and men.
abstract: In this issue of Immunity, the Coronin-1A gene Coro1a, which regulates cytoskeletal structure, is shown by Haraldsson et al. (2007) to be a surprising disease-susceptibility gene that contributes to the spontaneous systemic autoimmunity in the MRL mouse, a model of systemic lupus erythematosus.
