STICKY BLOOD SYNDROME also know as HUGHES SYNDROME, ANTI PHOSPHOLIPID SYNDROME, A P S and APLS Q. How common is Hughes Syndrome? A. Probably very common -- possibly as high as 1 in 500 of the population. It is suspected that people inherit a genetic component, as yet unknown, from their parents, which predisposes them to develop the Hughes Syndrome. They are not necessarily pre-destined to develop Hughes Syndrome, but they may be more susceptible than those without the genetic makeup. Relatives of Hughes Syndrome patients have an approximately 5-12% greater tendency to get the disease if family members have it.
