Abstract excerpt
Antibodies against phospholipids (PL) and PL-binding proteins have been causally implicated in antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). Mutations in the fifth domain of the beta2-glycoprotein I (beta2GPI) protein, a putative PL-binding site, may play a critical role in APS pathogenesis. The purpose of this study was to identify associations between beta2GPI mutations and both antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) and their...
