Abstract
We report a new platelet antigen (Yukb) involved in a case of neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (NAITP). This antigen is considered to be a product of an allele of the Yuk gene, another allele of which codes for Yuka which was involved in 2 cases of NAITP. The Yuka and Yukb antigens are not expressed on thrombasthenic platelets which suggests that these antigens are present on platelet glycoprotein IIb and/or IIIa. The gene frequencies for Yuka and Yukb in the Japanese population were estimated to be 0.0083 and 0.9917, respectively.Entities:
