Abstract
The past decade has seen an evolution in the way that thrombophilic conditions are diagnosed and understood. This has largely evolved through the detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms in critical regulating proteins that are thought to confer significant structural-functional changes at key points in the coagulation cascade. The antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a complex hypercoagulable disorder that as yet defies the possibility of simple, predictive testingKeywords
