IgG Dependent Monocyte Activation in Proximal Venous Thromboembolism

IgG Dependent Monocyte Activation in Proximal Venous Thromboembolism

The primary objective of this study is to search for, in vitro, elements associated with IgG-dependent monocyte activation (signaling pathway activation, expression of pro-coagulant and pro-inflammatory factors) and to describe their prevalence in female patients with a history of proximal venous thromboembolism (proximal deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism) compared to control women.

The secondary objectives of this study include to compare the IgG-dependent monocyte activation profiles as a function of laboratory thrombophilia parameters. Essentially: Is IgG-dependent cell activation associated with the presence of anti-phospholipid antibodies (or their subtypes?), or do these profiles indicate something beyond the nosology of anti-phospholipid syndrome?

Inclusion Criteria for patients:

• The patient has given her informed and signed consent
• The patient must be insured or beneficiary of a health insurance plan
• Adult woman 18 to 50 years old
• At least one prior incident of proximal venous thromboembolism (proximal deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism) over three months ago regardless of the patient's history of placental vascular disease

Exclusion Criteria for patients:
