A member asked:

Are elevated tissue transglutaminase antibodies a possible reason for sneddons syndrome because of their effect on thrombin and the endothelia lining?

Bad fit: Glad you're interested in basic pathology. Not a bad conjecture. But if this were the case, sneddon's would run with gluten enteropathy. It doesn't. Under the microscope, sneddon's is a proliferative endarteritis with lymphocytes and macrophages, not what we see in antibody-antigen mediated vasculitis.
