BACKGROUND: Most cases of fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) are caused by maternal alloantibodies against human platelet antigen-1a (HPA-1a). Alloimmunization mainly occurs in HPA-1a-negative mothers who are carriers of the HLA-DRB3*01:01 allele. Recently, it has been reported that the combined presence of HLA-DRB3*01:01 and HLA-DRB4*01:01P was associated with severity of FNAIT. We tested...
