BACKGROUND: Polymorphism of glycoprotein IIIa on human platelets is one of the factors in alloimmunization that causes neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia and refractoriness to platelet transfusion. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: DNA typing methods were originally developed to determine the genotypes of five human platelet antigen (HPA) systems located on glycoprotein IIIa: HPA-1, HPA-4, HPA-6W, HPA-7W and HPA-8W....
