naitbabies.org FNAIT - a rare severe bleeding disorder caused by the maternal immune response against fetal platelets

We support research into FNAIT, it's causes, treatment and prevention. We also provide help, practical assistance and advocate for families diagnosed with FNAIT. Our aim is to see prenatal screening as standard and routine for all women.

Rachael’s eldest son Otto has cerebral palsy and epilepsy as a result of bleeding into his brain caused by platelet antibodies.

Debra and Peter Newman and their colleagues use a mouse model to show how fetal maternal hemorrhage is a determining factor in antibody production and that elimination of alloantigen incompatible fetal platelets from the mother’s circulation using an HPA-1a-specific monoclonal antibody prophylactically effectively decreases maternal alloantibody production.

Key Points. 1. Transfusion of HPA-1a-positive platelets during pregnancy to model FMH triggers FNAIT, which is prevented by HPA-1a-specific prophylaxis.2.

Anne Husebekk har gått bort

Den tidligere UiT-rektoren døde 5. desember 2025 etter at hun i vinter ble rammet av alvorlig kreftsykdom. Hun ble 69 år gammel.

– Med Annes bortgang har UiT Norges arktiske universitet mistet en av sine mest sentrale skikkelser, sier nåværende UiT-rektor, Dag Rune Olsen.

Anne Husebekk tilbragte det meste av sitt yrkesaktive liv ved UiT. Hun ble uteksaminert lege fra Universitetet i Tromsø i 1982, og ble senere spesialist og professor i immunologi samme sted.

I 2011 ble Husebekk prodekan for forskning ved Det helsevitenskapelige fakultet, før hun to år senere stilte som rektorkandidat, og vant med over 70 prosent av stemmene.

Etter to perioder som rektor ventet nye lederoppgaver ved UiT, og fra 2023 og frem til hun ble syk, var Anne Husebekk leder for Senter for hav og Arktis. I tillegg ledet hun arbeidet med "Prosjekt 181 i nord", utvidelsen av legeutdanningen ved UiT.

Anne Husebekk ble 69 år gammel. Hun etterlater seg mannen Lars, og barna Mads, Camilla og Oda.

Bisettelsen vil bli kunngjort av universitetet. UiT holder en minnestund i Tromsø tirdag 9. desember klokken 14.00. – 15.30.

Det vil bli lagt ut kondolanseprotokoll i Árdna ved UiT i Tromsø, og ved våre campus i Harstad, Narvik og Alta.

Familien ønsker donasjon til Hansmarka Vel, snarere enn blomster. Hansmarka Vel vil reise en bu ved skøytebanen tilgjengelig for alle, ikke minst barn. Gaver kan gis via Vipps til 834310.
