In antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) the presence of anti-beta2-glycoprotein I (beta2GPI) antibodies is strongly associated with thromboembolic complications. It has been suggested that the common beta2GPI Valine/Leucine247 (Val/Leu247) polymorphism could be found more commonly in APS and might influence the generation of anti-beta2GPI antibodies. Therefore we studied beta2GPI Val/Leu247 single-nucleotide...
