Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein H (apoH, protein; APOH, gene) is a required cofactor for the production of antiphospholipid antibodies (APA). In this study we have examined whether genetic variation in the APOH gene affects variation in risk for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), occurrence of antiphospholipid antibodies (APA), anti-apoH, and plasma apoH concentrations. A total of 222 white SLE women were screened for four APOH...
