PURPOSE: To elucidate whether thrombocytopenia in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome patients is associated with the hemizygosity of glycoprotein Ib-beta and to clarify the correlation of phenotype and genotype of this gene in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome patients with thrombocytopenia. METHODS: Platelet number, mean platelet volume, platelet agglutination, and the protein level of glycoprotein Ib-beta were measured in...
