Carl Petrus Linge: Study Identifies New Antibody Linked to Thrombosis Risk in SLE
Carl Petrus Linge, Specialist in Rheumatology at Region Skåne, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Thrombosis is a major clinical problem in SLE, not fully explained by antiphospholipid antibodies.
In our study, now published in Haematologica, we report:
- Anti-glycoprotein V (GPV) antibodies independently associated with thrombotic events in SLE
- C3 independently associated with thrombosis in multivariable Cox regression analyses
These findings support previously unrecognized platelet-complement and platelet-directed antibody mechanisms contributing to thrombotic risk beyond APS pathways.
Grateful to all collaborators involved in this work, including Rick Kapur, Anders Bengtsson and John Semple!”
