Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: HNA-3 antigens are the result of a rs2288904 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the CTL2, and the HNA-3a and HNA-3b variants are encoded by a guanine and adenine at Nucleotide Position 461. Anti-HNA-3 are involved in severe transfusion-related acute lung injury reactions and in neonatal alloimmune neutropenia. Since the distribution of the HNA-3 system was unknown in South Americans, in this...
