Incidence of HPA-9b in Testing for Neonatal Alloimmune Thrombocytopenia.
Abstract
Abstract
Background: Neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (NAT) is caused by maternal alloantibodies that cross the placenta and cause increased clearance of fetal platelets. The alloantibodies are directed to incompatible human platelet antigens (HPA) inherited from the father and expressed on fetal platelet glycoproteins.
