There was a strong correlation between anti-BP180 NC16A values and the ABSIS Skin score (ρ = 0.58, p value < 0.0001), and a moderate correlation with erosion/blister BPDAI score (ρ = 0.48, p value < 0.001) and urticaria/erythema BPDAI score (ρ = 0.27, p value = 0.009).
Although no association of circulating BP180NC16A IgE antibodies with urticarial or erythematous lesions was observed (r = 0.481; P = .31), the presence of IgG anti-BP180NC16A antibodies was associated with the occurrence of erosions and blisters (r = 0.985; P = .006) but not urticarial and erythematous lesions (r = 0.632; P = .23).
