Maternal serum human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) levels were measured during the second and the third trimesters of pregnancy in patients with either systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or primary antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). All results were expressed in multiples of the gestation-speciยฎc norm

Maternal serum inhibin A levels are increased on average in pregnancies affected by Down syndrome (DS). However, some reports have found increased serum levels in women with pre-eclamptic toxaemia as well. In the current study, maternal serum inhibin A was retrospectively measured in a series of 32
## Abstract ## Objective Although antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) are associated with arterial and venous thrombosis in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), the extent to which they influence other cardiovascular manifestations is either controversial or uncertain. We undertook this study to exam
Familial associations of the antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) offer the opportunity to study genetic mechanisms of autoantibody production and disease, but are unusual. We identified a family, including identical twins and their mother, in which all members had systemic lupus erythematosus (
