We observed persistent thrombocytopenia predicts thrombotic risk in antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) patients. Well-managed obstetric APS patients reached a successful outcome in 80% of pregnancies. We described differential lymphocyte phenotype profiles to discriminate between Sjgren's and Sicca syndromes. In inflammatory myopathies we described how to classify and manage their diagnosis in adult patients. We identified biomarkers in idiophatic and inherited angioedema for phenotype classification. We found gene and molecular signatures in scleroderma and vasculitis improve clinic stratification of these patients. In a long-term follow up study, we described angiogenic and cardivascular risk factors in pre-eclamptic pregnancies. In patients with bioimplants, we found a haplotype as a risk factor for developing autoimmune disorders. Finally, we studied immune mechanisms involved in thrombosis in COVID-19 patients with antiphospholipid antibodies and their risk of developing Long-Covid.
