Abstract excerpt
We report the molecular genetic analysis of the Bernard-Soulier syndrome (BSS) phenotype in two related patients showing absence of glycoprotein (GP) Ibalpha and detectable amounts of GPIX on the platelet surface, and a truncated form of GPIbalpha in solubilized platelets and plasma. They both were compound heterozygotes for the GPIbalpha gene: a maternal allele with a T insertion at position 1418 causing a...
