OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Identify and stratify clinical presentations of thrombotic pathology in PCOS patients. This will be accomplished by 1) evaluating clinical assays for the detection of hypofibrinolysis, and 2) analyzing clinical symptomology of thrombosis in PCOS via Symptom-Disease Pair Analysis of Diagnostic Error (SPADE). METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Preliminary study populations include n=3 for each of the following groups PCOS with thrombotic complications, PCOS without thrombotic complications, healthy controls, and healthy control samples treated ex vivo with PAI-1. Coagulation assays include ACL coagulation panel, antiphospholipid antibody assays, viscoelastic testing with TEG and Quantra devices, and global fibrinolytic capacity. Coagulation assays will be performed on three samples taken at 4-week intervals. The SPADE techniques will be used to evaluate symptomology of thrombosis in the study period and patient electronic medical history. Molecular testing will be performed for pro-thrombotic polymorphisms (PAI-1 and Apo E) and mutations (Factor V Leiden and Prothrombin). RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We anticipate PCOS and ex vivo PAI-1 samples to show signs of hypofibrinolysis on TEG and Quantra devices outside of reference ranges and with statistical significance. We also anticipate seeing a statistical significance with ACL coagulation panels, however, these results are expected to still be within the reference ranges, as seen in previous studies. We believe the SPADE method will identify clinical presentations of hypofibrinolysis in PCOS patients coinciding with patterns in laboratory tests that were misdiagnosed due to being within reference ranges. We hope to stratify clinical presentations predictive of thrombosis in PCOS patients with standard clinical assays and with increased precision using viscoelastic assays. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: The incidence rate of thrombosis is 40x higher in PCOS compared to healthy populations. However, the mechanisms of thrombosis in PCOS are unknown and are undetectable with current clinical assays. We hypothesize that chronic cellular stress in PCOS disrupts the regulation of interconnected immune pathways, causing hypofibrinolysis.
