Core Tip This article reviews the most up to date theories regarding the production of pathogenic antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) in antiphospholipid syndrome. It focuses on both the genetic and environmental aspects related to aPL production. The genetic factors highlighted include human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and non-HLA associations and where available, data linking genes to clinical manifestations is presented. The key infectious agents linked to the formation of pathogenic aPL and those mechanisms by which these agents induce a break in immune tolerance are also discussed.
