Anti-phosphatidylethanolamine antibody, thromboembolic events and the antiphospholipid syndrome

In this review, we update the literature concerning the presence of aPE in patients with thromboembolic events and obstetric morbidity. We also discuss aPE as the sole antibody detected in many of these clinical circumstances. An eventual link of aPE antibodies with failure of in vitro fertilization is also considered as well as uncommon clinical associations of aPE that are also discussed.
