In another report using a prospective cohort of thrombocytopenic patients, platelet-associated anti-GPIIb/IIIa and anti-GPIb antibodies detected by direct MAIPA were present in 49% of 93 patients with ITP, including 74 with the primary form, and in only 22% of 54 patients with non-ITP thrombocytopenia [4]. Here, ITGA2B is linked to Thrombocytopenia.
