Abstract excerpt
Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (HPS) is a recessively inherited disease with dysfunction of several related subcellular organelles including platelet-dense granules, melanosomes, and lysosomes. Our recent identification of the mutation in murine Rab geranylgeranyl transferase alpha-subunit gene (Rabggta) in one mouse model of HPS, the gunmetal mouse, suggested that human patients with similar phenotypes might have...
