  Welcome to the website of the Hughes Syndrome Foundation. We are a UK registered charity dedicated to promoting awareness and funding research into Hughes Syndrome which is also known medically as the antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). Our website provides information about the charity and all aspects of Hughes Syndrome for patients, doctors and supporters.

Hughes Syndrome is an autoimmune disorder which can present many clinical features, some of which can be life threatening, including strokes and thrombosis, and it can also be the cause of recurrent miscarriage. The good news is that, once diagnosed, Hughes Syndrome is potentially treatable; the bad news is that, as the condition is relatively new, it often goes undetected or misdiagnosed. With your help we hope to raise the profile of Hughes Syndrome so that we can discover more about its causes, prevalence and treatment.
