TL;DR: An association with SLE, the patient's sex, and the patient’s age at disease onset can modify the disease expression and define specific subsets of APS.

TL;DR: Primary SS should be considered as a systemic autoimmune disease that can express in many guises beyond sicca involvement and have a significant impact on the clinical presentation of primary SS, influencing the results of the main diagnostic tests, the prevalence and diversity of extraglandular involvement, and the frequency of themain immunologic markers.

TL;DR: It is suggested that monocyte TF expression is directly involved in the pathogenesis of thrombotic complications in patients with the primary APS, and procoagulant activity on monocytes from patients withPrimary APS and its correlation with thromBotic events is investigated.

TL;DR: It is confirmed that progression from primary APS to SLE or lupus-like disease is unusual, even after a long follow-up, and the presence of Coombs positivity conferred a statistically significant risk for the subsequent development of SLE.

TL;DR: The data clearly indicate that the SLE risk haplotype also influences SSc predisposition, and that this association is not sub-phenotype-specific.
