Anticardiolipin Antibody
otherAnticardiolipin antibodies promote arterial thrombosis by enhancing coagulation and platelet activation.
Pathway placement
Cascade stepCoagulation & thrombus formation
Confidencehigh
RationaleProthrombotic autoantibody directly amplifies thrombus formation on exposed surface.
Also acts inPlatelet activation
Druggability
Not assessed (no mapped human gene target).
Type I vs non-Type I discrimination
ScoresLow-confidence (proxy)

Non-Type-I axis panel
Does this marker also move in each non-Type-I setting? mag 0–3; higher means less Type-I-specific. n/a = no evidence retrieved, which is not the same as no change.
No non-Type-I axis evidence retrieved.
Tier: light (literature co-occurrence proxy — lower confidence). See the discrimination table for all markers.
