The risk for platelets are less than with whole blood containing white blood cells. This is because the overall DNA content is much smaller, in addition to which, there are fewer variations in the mitochondrial DNA and so there will be less of a clash when mitochondrial DNA is transferred from one individual to another. So here too, donating or receiving a platelet transfusion has minimal risk for donor or recipient.
