Lupus & antiphospholipid syndrome

SERPINA1 and plasminogen as novel biomarkers in obstetric antiphospholipid syndrome patients

Clin Exp RheumatolPublished Proteomics study

Authors' conclusion

The complement and coagulation pathway and related DEPs (SERPINA1 and plasminogen) were of crucial importance in OAPS patients.

Study context
