Quantifying the proportion of women at risk of an FNAIT pregnancy in diverse populations in the United States
This poster, presented at the 2024 American Society of Human Genetics Meeting, November 5–9 (Denver, CO), details the first study to report FNAIT risk across diverse ancestries using data from genetic databases to calculate the expected number of women carrying underlying causal genetic variants. The study suggests that nearly 20,000 pregnancies in the US are at higher FNAIT risk each year – a significantly greater number than previously estimated – and supports the case for screening all pregnant women for potential FNAIT risk, regardless of race and ethnicity.
