What is the link between anticardiolipin antibodies and thrombosis? Is testing for these a standard part of a thrombosis panel of tests?

Anticoardiolipin antibodies are one of three tests that are done to see if an individual has “antiphospholipid antibodies.” Antiphospholipid antibodies carry an increased risk of thrombosis and in women can cause problems in pregnancy. Yes, they should be part of thrombophilia testing.
