Lupus is not hereditary. In order to develop lupus, a person has to inherit just the right combination of quite a few different genes and then be exposed to a trigger. Children of parents with lupus have only a slightly higher chance of developing the disease.
20 percent of people with lupus will have a parent or sibling who already has lupus or may develop lupus.
Nephritis occurs in about 40-50% of systemic lupus erythematosus patients. If a person does not have lupus in the first place, then they will not develop lupus nephritis. Lupus itself is not directly hereditary. People inherit just the right combination of genes to presdispose them to developing lupus, but something has to trigger the autoimmune reaction. In studies of genetically identical twins lupus develops in both twins only 30% of the time, thereby demonstrating that lupus is not totally inherited.
No, this is inherited.
Neonatol Lupus and Pediatric Lupus Erythematosus are most commonly found in babies. Subacute Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus are found in adolescents and children.
Children of any gender inherit traits from both parents.
If there is no living spouse, the children inherit, after them the siblings. If there is no living spouse, children or siblings, parents inherit, after them first cousins, then second cousins, etc.
infections (e.g., Epstein-Barr virus, which infects 99% of children with lupus, but only 70% of healthy children), antibiotics, ultraviolet light

Yes children are the descedants of their parents.
They can, my mother in law had it and had five children.
Laws vary. Generally, the surviving spouse and the children inherit in an intestate (without a Will) estate. If you were not married to the father then his children would inherit his estate. You can check the laws in your jurisdiction by performing an online search for "intestacy laws- your jurisdiction".
Lupus statistics for the number of children worldwide with lupus are not available. Since lupus is not a contagious disease, there are no reporting requirements to any agencies that gather this data. In developing countries, many people do not have access to doctors who can properly diagnose the disease, so many cases go undiagnosed. Some lupus statistics are drawn from hospital discharge statements, however, the discharge statement might not reflect the diagnosis. Doctors have no agency to which to report cases of lupus. Some data, like that of the Lupus Foundation of America, is based on telephone surveys and extrapolated to the general population. There really is no answer to your question.
