Alloimmunization risk factors include genetics and immune system
The findings of various studies point to alloimmunization being influenced by many different genetic and immunological factors.

IVIG is the current standard treatment for HDFN and FNAIT, but a new drug called nipocalimab has shown promise in an early clinical trial.
A clinical trial sponsored by Johnson & Johnson will seek to determine whether nipocalimab prevents or delays FNAIT in at-risk pregnancies.
A recently published case report describes a pregnancy complicated by systemic lupus erythematosus and FNAIT.
A recent study found that severe maternal thrombocytopenia may increase the risk of neonatal thrombocytopenia.
Some patients may experience severe reactions following HLA-1 alloimmunization from platelet transfusions.
A specialized form of MRI can help explain why cerebrospinal fluid builds up in newborns with brain bleeds, such as those seen in FNAIT.
The FREESIA-1 trial is testing a drug that could stop fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia before it starts.
A study by Rallybio is currently underway to determine whether the risk of FNAIT differs by race or ethnicity.
A recent study found non-nutritive pacifiers can be used to improve the pain response of infants undergoing venous blood collection.
