The Critical Interaction of Glycoprotein (GP) Ibβ With GPIX—A Genetic Cause of Bernard-Soulier Syndrome
1 May 1999
Abstract excerpt
Bernard-Soulier syndrome is an uncommon bleeding disorder caused by a quantitative or qualitative defect in the platelet glycoprotein (GP)Ib/IX complex. The complex is composed of four subunits, GPIbalpha, GPIbbeta, GPIX, and GPV. Here we describe the molecular basis of a novel Bernard-Soulier syndrome variant in a patient in whom GPIbalpha and GPIX were undetectable on the platelet surface. DNA sequence analysis...
