Title: Antiphospholipid Syndrome Poster

Session Type: ACR Poster Session A

Session Time: 9:00AM-11:00AM

Background/Purpose: , Methods: , Results: and Conclusion:

Background/Purpose:

The antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a thrombophilic disorder characterized by clinical manifestations of vascular thrombosis and obstetric complications associated with the presence of specific antiphospholipid antibodies (aPLs). Most patients with APS can be identified using the conventional laboratory assays for LAC, IgG/IgM anti-cardiolipin (aCL), and IgG/IgM anti-ß2glycoprotein I (ß2GPI) antibodies. Some patients with clinical manifestations highly suggestive of APS however are negative for these classic biomarkers and new biomarkers are needed to identify these “seronegative APS or SNAPS) patients. Anti-Phosphatidylserine/Prothrombin (aPS/PT) antibodies are positive in many SNAPS patients. In the present study we assessed the prevalence and significance of aPS/PT, as well conventional APS biomarkers, in a large cohort of well-characterized patients with APS from the Shanghai region of China.

Methods:

186 Chinese patients meeting the criteria for the classification of APS using the Sydney criteria (67 primary and119 secondary APS), 48 with SNAPS, 176 disease controls ((79 systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), 29 Sjogren’s syndrome (SS), 30 ankylosing spondylitis (AS), 38 rheumatoid arthritis (RA)), and 90 healthy donors were examined. IgG and IgM aPS/PT, IgG, IgM, IgA anticardiolipin (aCL), and IgG, IgM, IgA anti-ß2-glycoprotein I (anti-ß2GPI) antibodies were tested by QUANTA Lite® ELISA kits (Inova Diagnostics, San Diego, CA). Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 23.0 (IBM, Chicago, IL, USA) or Analyze-it ver 4.6 (Analyze-it Software, LTD). T-test, Mann-Whitney U test, Kappa test, Fisher’s exact or Chi-square tests were applied.

Results:

160(86.0%) of APS patients were positive for at least one aPS/PT isotype. 135(72.6%) were positive for IgG aPS/PT, 124/186(66.7%) positive for IgM aPS/PT, and 99(53.2%) positive for both. Approximately half of the SNAPS patients were positive for IgG and/or IgM aPS/PT. Highly significant associations between IgG aPS/PT and venous thrombotic events (OR 6.72) and IgG/IgM aPS/PT and pregnancy loss (OR 9.44) were found. Levels of IgM aPS/PT were significantly different in APS patients with thrombotic manifestations and those with fetal loss (p=0.014). The association between IgG/IgM aPS/PT and LAC was highly significant (p<0.001), when both were positive the OR for APS was 101.6. Notably, 91.95%(80/87) of LAC positive specimens were positive for IgG and/or IgM aPS/PT suggesting aPS/PT is an effective option when LAC testing is not available.

Conclusions:

Anti-PS/PT antibody assays demonstrated high diagnostic performance for Chinese patients with APS, detected some APS patients negative for criteria markers, and may serve as potential risk predictors for venous thrombosis and obstetric complications.

All abstracts accepted to ACR Convergence are under media embargo once the ACR has notified presenters of their abstract’s acceptance. They may be presented at other meetings or published as manuscripts after this time but should not be discussed in non-scholarly venues or outlets. The following embargo policies are strictly enforced by the ACR.

Accepted abstracts are made available to the public online in advance of the meeting and are published in a special online supplement of our scientific journal, Arthritis & Rheumatology. Information contained in those abstracts may not be released until the abstracts appear online. In an exception to the media embargo, academic institutions, private organizations, and companies with products whose value may be influenced by information contained in an abstract may issue a press release to coincide with the availability of an ACR abstract on the ACR website. However, the ACR continues to require that information that goes beyond that contained in the abstract (e.g., discussion of the abstract done as part of editorial news coverage) is under media embargo until 10:00 AM ET on November 14, 2024. Journalists with access to embargoed information cannot release articles or editorial news coverage before this time. Editorial news coverage is considered original articles/videos developed by employed journalists to report facts, commentary, and subject matter expert quotes in a narrative form using a variety of sources (e.g., research, announcements, press releases, events, etc.).

Violation of this policy may result in the abstract being withdrawn from the meeting and other measures deemed appropriate. Authors are responsible for notifying colleagues, institutions, communications firms, and all other stakeholders related to the development or promotion of the abstract about this policy. If you have questions about the ACR abstract embargo policy, please contact ACR abstracts staff at [email protected].
