It is well known that HPA‐1a antibodies lead to fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT), and an association with reduced birthweight in boys has been reported. Although it remains unclear whether HLA antibodies cause FNAIT, an association between HLA class I antibodies and reduced birthweight in FNAIT neonates has been observed. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of platelet antibodies among Chinese women and the impact of maternal alloimmune antibodies on birthweight among healthy neonates.
