Immunization against the human platelet antigen (HPA)-1 alloantigen
is the most common cause of severe fetal and neonatal thrombocytopenia.
Fetal therapy has substantial risks and its indications need better
definition. Of 24,417 consecutive pregnant women, 618 (2.5%) were
HPA-1a negative of whom 385 entered an observational study. All were
HLA-DRB3*0101 genotyped and screened for anti-HPA-1a. Their partners
and neonates were HPA-1 genotyped and the latter were assessed by cord
blood platelet counts and cerebral ultrasound scans. Anti-HPA-1a was
detected in 46 of 387 pregnancies (12.0%; 95% CI 8.7%-15.2%). All
but one were HLA-DRB3*0101 positive (odds ratio 140; 95% CI 19-1035;
P< .00001). One baby died in utero, and of 26 HPA-1a-positive babies born to women with persistent antenatal
antibodies, 9 were severely thrombocytopenic (8 with a count <10 × 109/L, 1 with a large porencephalic cyst), 10 were mildly
thrombocytopenic, whereas 7 had normal platelet counts. Severe
thrombocytopenia was significantly associated with a third trimester
anti-HPA-1a titer  1:32 (P = .004), but was not observed
in babies of women with either transient or postnatal-only antibodies.
HPA-1a alloimmunization complicates 1 in 350 unselected pregnancies,
resulting in severe thrombocytopenia in 1:1,200. HPA-1a and
HLA-DRB3*0101 typing combined with anti-HPA-1a titration allows
selection of the majority of pregnancies at risk of severe
thrombocytopenia.
