Key result
Sticky Platelet Syndrome is the second most common cause of thrombophilia in Mexican Mestizos and is easily treatable with antiplatelet drugs, though often overlooked due to diagnostic limitations.
Why the study?
Sticky Platelet Syndrome is a common cause of thrombophilia in Mexican Mestizos that is easily treatable, but diagnostic methods are not widely available and clinicians frequently overlook it.
This review highlights the importance of recognizing and diagnosing Sticky Platelet Syndrome, a common and easily treatable cause of thrombophilia in the Mexican population that is often overlooked.
May warrant consideration in thrombophilia evaluation for Mexican Mestizos; leaves open need for prospective validation.
Sticky Platelet Syndrome (SPS) is a disorder characterized by platelet hyperaggregability, diagnosed by studying in vitro platelet aggregation with ADP and epinephrine. It is the second most common cause of thrombophilia in Mexican Mestizos and manifests as an autosomal dominant trait which, combined with other coagulopathies, contributes significantly to the morbidity and mortality of patients with primary thrombophilia. It is easily treatable with antiplatelet drugs; however, the methods for diagnosis are not readily available in all clinical laboratories and the disorder is often overlooked by most clinicians. Herein, we present the results of more than 20 years of Mexican experience with the study of SPS in a Mestizo population.

Minutti-Zanella et al. (2022) conducted a review in Sticky Platelet Syndrome. Sticky Platelet Syndrome was evaluated. Sticky Platelet Syndrome is the second most common cause of thrombophilia in Mexican Mestizos and is easily treatable with antiplatelet drugs, though often overlooked due to diagnostic limitations.
