Role of β2‐glycoprotein I in the pathogenesis of the antiphospholipid syndrome
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is typically characterized by increased levels of three classes of antiphospholipid antibodies, namely lupus anticoagulant, anti‐β2‐glycoprotein I (anti‐β2GPI), and anticardiolipin antibodies.

Oxidation of β2-glycoprotein I associates with IgG antibodies to domain I in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome. [PDF]
Domain I (DI) of beta-2-glycoprotein I (β2GPI) contains the immunodominant epitope for pathogenic antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL). DI is exposed in the linear form of the molecule but not in the circular form that comprises 90% of serum β2GPI.
