Abstract excerpt
We report the molecular genetic analysis of a patient with thrombasthenic phenotype. The lack of surface platelet GPIIb-IIIa complexes and the presence of GPIIIa suggested it was a case of type I Glanzmann's thrombasthenia due to a mutation in GPIIb. Single stranded conformational polymorphism analysis (SSCP) of exon-19 of GPIIb showed polymorphic DNA bands. The DNA sequence of exon-19 revealed the presence of a...
