Abstract excerpt
Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (HPS) is an autosomal recessive disorder causing oculocutaneous albinism and a platelet storage pool deficiency, reflecting defective biosynthesis and/or processing of melanosomes and platelet dense bodies. Four human genes (HPS1, ADTB3A, HPS3, HPS4) are associated with four subtypes of HPS. The most common is HPS-1. A 16-bp duplication in exon 15 of the HPS1 gene causes HPS-1 in 450...
