Abstract
The antiphospholipid thrombosis syndrome, associated with anticardiolipin (aCL) or subgroup antibodies, can be divided into one of six subgroups (I-VI). There is little overlap (about 10% or less) between these subtypes, and patients usually conveniently fit into only one of these clinical types. Although there appears to be no correlation with the type, or titer, of aCL antibody and type of syndrome, the subclassification of thrombosis and aCL antibody patients into these groups is important from the therapy standpoint. This article also reviews the clinical presentations associated with each of these six subgroups.
