Abstract excerpt
We report the defects responsible for Glanzmann thrombasthenia in two patients showing traces of abnormally migrating platelet beta3 in immunoblotting. Using PCR-SSCP and direct sequencing, we identified a novel homozygous mutation in exon 10 of the beta3 gene of patient 1 which gave a C457 to Y amino acid substitution. A C542 to R substitution in beta3 of patient 2 was previously reported by us. These cysteines...
