First seen May 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 15, 2026 · Updated 5 times

Summary

This study aims to find inherited genetic factors that may increase the risk of developing antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS), a condition that causes abnormal blood clotting, leading to problems like strokes, heart attacks, and miscarriages. Researchers will recruit 2,800 people with APS who also have family members with APS or other autoimmune diseases like lupus. By studying their DNA, the goal is to better understand why some people develop this syndrome.
