C10423 - well above the target range of 15 that signals positive

C10513 - Is APS inherited?
C10514 -
C10515 - Although APS has been reported to occur in multiple members of
C10516 - the same family, no clear inheritance pattern has been
C10517 - identified and no gene has been found to be the sole cause of
C10518 - this condition. One report in 1999 studied families with more
C10519 - than one affected member, examined possible modes of
C10520 - inheritance, and examined links with certain genes. In seven
C10521 - families, 30 out of 101 family members met diagnostic criteria
C10522 - for the syndrome. The data were fitted best by either a
C10523 - dominant (one copy of the altered gene inherited from one
C10524 - parent causes the condition) or codominant (features related to
C10525 - the condition from both parents are observed) model.
