Résumé

No risk factors have been identified for vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) so far. The aim of this study was to identify human leucocyte antigen (HLA) alleles potentially associated with VITT susceptibility. Specific HLA class II alleles were detected with significantly higher frequency in VITT patients compared with Italian controls: DPB1*17:01, DQA1*05:01, and DRB1*11:04. In silico analysis revealed increased affinity of DRB1*11:04 for a platelet factor 4 (PF4)-derived peptide, ITSLEVIKA, that contains two amino acids present in the specific binding site of anti-PF4 antibodies from VITT patients. Our findings show for the first time a genetic predisposition to developing anti-PF4 antibodies in response to Ad-vector vaccines.
