Abstract excerpt
We hypothesized that Fcgamma receptor IIIa (FcgammaRIIIa), a polymorphic receptor for the Fc portion of immunoglobulin G (IgG) other than FcgammaRIIa, was involved in heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT). FcgammaRIIa-131 and FcgammaRIIIa-158 genotypes were determined in 102 patients with definite HIT and in 2 control groups of patients treated by heparin (86 subjects without detectable antibodies [Abs] to...
