Abstract excerpt
Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a common hematological disorder in the childhood, and it is one of the most common forms of autoimmune disease in pediatric patients. The ITP basis is a primary dysfunction of the immune system. This study aimed to analyze the genetic polymorphisms of the Fcγ receptors IIA and IIIA. The genetic polymorphisms of the Fc receptors γIIA (131H/R) and γRIIIA (158V/F) were...
