Abstract excerpt
A genetic polymorphism of the beta2-glycoprotein I (beta2-GPI) is recognized by antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) and may even play a role in the development of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). The objectives of this study were to determine a Val/Leu SNP at position 247 of the beta2-GPI gene in Brazilian patients with APS and to compare these data with clinical and laboratory manifestations. Polymorphism...
