Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs5918 in the ITGB3 gene defines the human platelet antigen-1 (HPA-1) system encoding a Leu (HPA-1a) or Pro (HPA-1b) at position 33. HPA-1 antibodies are clinically the most relevant in the Caucasoid population, but detection currently requires alpha(IIb)beta3 integrin from the platelets of HPA-genotyped donors. OBJECTIVES: We set out to define the beta3...
