It is known that polymorphisms of beta (2)-glycoprotein I (beta (2)GPI) in exon 7 affect interaction between the phospholipid binding site and the antibodies, and that other polymorphisms in exon 8 increase the generation of antibodies. In this study, we analyzed genetic polymorphisms of beta (2)GPI in unselected Chilean patients to determine the prevalence of beta (2)GPI polymorphisms in the phospholipid domain...
