I read one of the papers that was posted here and came across the GAPPS Score. Very interesting! Do y’all think they will incorporate this into diagnosing? Has anyone been diagnosed using this?

Yes, this is the “ stratification assessment “ and scoring I have spoken of.

I think it makes sense in some way.

It seems to blend the old criteria and new criteria together in some sort of sensible way plus leave room for new additions like phosphotidylserines I’m thinking...

I’ll need to look this up again.

I would like to print this out along with Beverly Hunts Jan Article ( priner) in Nature ( posted by APsnotFab) and put them side by side.

I think it would be interesting to cross reference them.

Well, I just just looked it up and re read it. I’m retracting my mention of any specific Elisa assays, although it did include them.

I don’t think you could ever be accused of having a pea brain!

No sleep, no coffee... normal crazy life...

oh... by the way, has anyone ever mentioned to you that you might have APS? (😉)
