Antiphospholipid syndrome is an autoimmune disease in which the body produces large amounts of antiphospholipid antibodies. Phospholipids are a special type of fat containing phosphate that makes up the outer walls of the body’s cells. Antiphospholipid antibodies attack the phospholipids. This causes many different problems including increased blood clotting. Cardiolipin is one type of phospholipid and specific anticardiolipin antibodies may develop. This disease is about two times more common in women than men. It is generally characterized by the following:

The antiphospholipid syndrome is a blood clotting disorder that can sometimes lead to strokes, heart attacks, miscarriages, and other serious problems. This disorder is relatively common in patients with lupus (SLE), but it is also found in people who do not have lupus. The antiphospholipid syndrome is diagnosed when a person with a blood clotting problem is found to have one or more autoantibodies in their blood. Autoantibodies are proteins made by the immune system. Normally the purpose of immune antibodies is to attack foreign invaders such as bacteria and viruses. Instead of attacking foreign substances, however, autoantibody proteins can stick to parts of a person's own body. This can interfere with important bodily functions or it can cause generalized inflammation.

67. A Discussion Of The Antiphospholipid Syndrome - June 1, 2002 - American Academy A Discussion of the antiphospholipid syndrome. The term antiphospholipid syndrome originally described the clinical association http://www.aafp.org/afp/20020601/tips/11.html

Advanced Search Tips from Other Journals Previous Next A Discussion of the Antiphospholipid Syndrome The term "antiphospholipid syndrome" originally described the clinical association between antiphospholipid antibodies and a syndrome of hypercoagulability. The criteria for diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome and the terminology of the disease have evolved over the years as the relevant pathophysiology and immunology have become better understood. Levine and colleagues discuss antiphospholipid syndrome, an uncommon (but not rare) disease with serious risks of arterial and venous thrombosis as well as recurrent pregnancy loss. -glycoprotein I autoantibodies are another class of autoantibodies strongly associated with the syndrome, but they are not presently included in the consensus criteria. Antibody screening is typically performed in persons with early or recurrent thrombotic episodes. The authors note that the risk of clinical sequelae is most elevated in persons with laboratory evidence of antiphospholipid syndrome and additional risk factors that predispose to thrombosis (e.g., oral contraceptive use, immobility) or atherosclerotic damage to blood vessels (e.g., hyperlipidemia, smoking, diabetes). Both arterial and venous thromboses can be present in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome and can involve virtually any organ. Deep venous thrombosis of the leg is the most common venous occlusion, while stroke and transient ischemic attacks are the most frequently occurring arterial complications. Other signs in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome are concomitant thrombocytopenia and hemolytic anemia.

EUROPEAN FORUM ON ANTIPHOSPHOLIPID ANTIBODIES MULTICENTRE STUDIES FAMILIAL ANTIPHOSPHOLIPID SYNDROME Genetic study on Familial Antiphospholipid Syndrome. Coordinators: JC Piette, M Michel, O Meyer, A Tincani, R Cervera, Y Shoenfeld, E Tournier-Lasserve, MC Boffa Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is familial in 10% of cases. The genetic factors associated with the production of aPL are currently poorly known, though several studies have pointed out a possible role of the MHC region or B2GPI polymorphism. The development of thrombosis may be associated with the presence of concomitant genetic thrombophilic factors (Factor V Leiden, PAI-1 4G/5G polymorphism...). The AIM of the study is to identify the genetic basis of familial APS. Patients: - familial (n 2) APS: Diagnosis of APS is based on International Consensus Criteria (Arthritis Rheum 1999; 42: 1309-1311). Patients may have, or not, the primary form of APS (i.e. patients with SLE-APS or Lupus-like APS are OK for study) - familial (n 4) asymptomatic aPL (LA/VDRL) For additional information and applications, please e-mail:
