==Overview==
In '''fetomaternal alloimmune thrombocytopenia''' (also known as Neonatal Alloimmune Thrombocytopenia or NAIT) maternal IgG antibodies (specific for [[platelet]] antigens) pass through the [[placenta]] and attack platelets in the fetal circulation.  This results in the fetus having low numbers of platelets and a tendency for the fetus or neonate to bruise and bleed.  Medical treatment is problematic.
