Navigating antiphospholipid syndrome: from personalized therapies to cutting-edge research.

APS is an autoimmune disorder characterized by thrombosis and pregnancy complications, primarily driven by aPLs such as LA, aCL and anti-β2 glycoprotein I (a-β2GPI). Despite advances in anticoagulation therapies, managing refractory APS cases remains challenging. Emerging therapies, including rituximab, eculizumab and HCQ, show potential in addressing the underlying mechanisms of APS. Additionally, research into genetic and environmental factors, particularly the gut microbiome's role through molecular mimicry, suggests new therapeutic pathways. Diagnostic advancements, such as the adjusted Global Antiphospholipid Syndrome Score (aGAPSS), metabolomic profiling and MRI, have improved risk stratification and early detection. Non-traditional biomarkers like anti-phosphatidylserine/prothrombin (aPS/PT) and anti-Domain I antibodies further enhance risk assessment. Future research should aim to validate these approaches, optimizing patient outcomes and minimizing long-term APS complications.
