Interpretive Data

  IgG autoantibodies to the domain-1 of the beta-2 glycoprotein protein (anti-B2GP1-D1) are a subset of anti-B2GP1 antibodies that have been linked to thrombotic and/or obstetric complications in individuals with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). Anti-B2GP1-D1 antibodies have been found to be of high specificity for APS diagnosis. Note that anti-B2GP1-D1 are not included in the ACR/EULAR APS classification criteria.
