Beta 2 glycoprotein 1 Ab.IgA
Detects IgA antibodies against beta-2 glycoprotein 1 protein.
Why This Biomarker Matters
Positive IgA antibodies may indicate antiphospholipid syndrome. This autoimmune condition increases clotting and miscarriage risk, warranting medical evaluation and management.
Overview
Beta-2 glycoprotein 1 (β2GP1) IgA antibodies are immune proteins associated with antiphospholipid syndrome, an autoimmune condition that increases blood clotting risk. Elevated IgA antibodies to β2GP1 suggest immune activation against this protein. Positive results may indicate antiphospholipid syndrome, which increases risk of blood clots, miscarriage, and stroke. This test is typically performed alongside IgM and IgG testing for comprehensive evaluation.
