BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Chronic refractory autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura (AITP) is an autoimmune disorder due to autoantibodies against platelet glycoproteins (GP). Human platelet alloantigenic (HPA) systems are distributed to different platelet GPs. We carried out genotyping of diallelic HPA-1, -2, -3, and -5 systems to clarify potential associations between HPA alleles and the development of chronic...
