Recommendations for ET in pregnancy, based on current knowledge of ET and the management of inherited thrombophilia and the Antiphospholipid Syndrome in pregnancy, have been proposed ( Harrison,BJH 2005) • The epidemiological, clinical and biological data on pregnancy in ET obtained by the partecipating Centres are now object of a prospective study by the RIT, a GIMEMA projects which records the ET patients diagnosed in Italy since January 2004.
