## Abstract Arterial thrombotic events, thrombocytopenia, and hemolytic anemia with schistocytes may be encountered in the setting of both thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and primary antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). We report 2 cases of TTP occurring in patients with definite primary APS.
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 (
