Fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopnia – FNAIT may cause unborn or newborn babies to bleed into their brain (intracranial hemorrhage) and/or other major organs due to the maternal immune response against fetal platelet antigens, which is caused by incompatibility between parents for platelet-specific antigens. This may result in fetal/neonatal death or lifelong disabilities e.g. epilepsy, cerebral palsy, cortical blindness, hydrocephalus, motor and cognitive delays, and sensory processing disorders.

Registered in the UK we are the only charity for this disease and provide support for families worldwide.
