Thrombin Generation Assay in Antiphospholipid Antibodies Positive Subjects as a Personalized Thrombotic Risk Assessment: State of the Art and Perspectives.

APC resistance induced by aPL is a complex pathway. Several cross-sectional studies assessed APC sensitivity to understand thrombotic event mechanisms in aPL + subjects. Only one prospective cohort had investigated the prognostic impact of APC resistance in aPL + subjects, with a positive and significant correlation between APC sensitivity and the risk of thrombosis during the follow up (hazard ratio, 6.07 [95% CI, 1.69-21.87]). APC resistance assessed with TGA could be associated with thrombotic events in aPL + subjects.
