Abstract excerpt
Clearance of autoantibody-sensitized platelets through Fc gamma receptors on phagocytic cells is one of the main mechanisms of thrombocytopenia in idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). We examined the Fc gamma RIIA-131R/H and Fc gamma RIIIA-158V/F polymorphisms in 104 adult chronic ITP patients, and in 59 healthy control subjects using polymerase chain reaction-based allele-specific restriction analysis. The...
