Abstract excerpt
Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome (HPS), a recessively inherited disease in humans, affects the biosynthesis/processing of the related intracellular organelles: lysosomes, melanosomes, and platelet dense granules. The disease is multigenic in both humans and mice where 14 separate genes have been demonstrated to be causative. Patients often die prematurely with severe lung abnormalities. Patients with the related...
