Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein H (apoH), also known as beta 2-glycoprotein-I, is considered to be a cofactor for the binding of certain antiphospholipid autoantibodies to negatively charged phospholipids. Genetically determined structural abnormalities in the lipid binding domain(s) of apoH can affect its ability to bind lipid and consequently the production of the autoantibodies. In this study we have identified two common...
