abstract

  • Vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) is a rare prothrombotic disorder with a unique clonality-restricted immunological profile. The study by Petito and Bury et al. provides insight into the role of HLA polymorphisms and an inherent predisposition to VITT. Commentary on: Petito et al. Association of human leucocyte antigen loci with vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia: Potential role of the interaction between platelet factor 4-derived peptides and MHC-II. Br J Haematol 2024 (Online ahead of print). doi: 10.1111/bjh.19838.
