We describe a new mutation in glycoprotein IX (GPIX) in a patient with Bernard-Soulier syndrome (BSS). Sequencing of GPIX revealed a homozygous (T-->C) transition at nucleotide 1717 (GenBank/HUMGPIX/M80478), resulting in a Cys(8) (TGT)-->Arg (CGT) replacement in the mature peptide. DNA restriction enzyme analysis using BsaAI revealed that the patient was homozygous and that his parents were heterozygous for the...
