The Beta-2 Glycoprotein 1 (β2GP1) IgG antibody test is a blood test used to detect the presence of IgG antibodies against β2GP1, a protein involved in blood clotting. This test is primarily ordered to evaluate patients for antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), an autoimmune disorder that increases the risk of blood clots, pregnancy complications, and recurrent miscarriages. Elevated levels of β2GP1 IgG antibodies indicate an autoimmune response that may contribute to clot formation. The test is often performed alongside other antiphospholipid antibody tests, such as anticardiolipin antibodies and lupus anticoagulant, to confirm diagnosis and guide treatment decisions. Results help physicians assess thrombotic risk and manage long-term care.
