Why is it important?

Patients with clinical symptoms of APS but without aPL are defined as “seronegative APS” (SNAPS). Antiphosphatidylethanolamin have potentially a part in SNAPS and are underdiagnosis.

Perspectives

10% of patient with clinical criteria of APS and without conventional antiphospholipid antibodies have aPE. Results suggest the implication of aPE in SNAPS.
