title: Sequence-Based Typing for Platelet alloantigens.
abstract: Human platelet antigen (HPA) typing is largely performed by use of DNA-based techniques in patients that require assessing the risk of HPA alloimmunization. In this chapter, HPA typing by sequencing-based typing (SBT) techniques is described.
