Objective: To define the role of IgA antibodies to cardiolipin (aCL) and IgA antibodies to beta-2 glycoprotein 1 (anti-β2-GP1) in the development of vascular complications in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Here, CD79A is linked to antiphospholipid syndrome.
