Abstract excerpt
Glazzmann thrombasthenia is an inherited bleeding syndrome in which an absence of platelet aggregation is associated with quantitative or qualitative deficiencies of the alphaIIbbeta3 integrin. We now describe biochemical and molecular studies on two Portuguese families where platelets lack both surface and intracellular pools of alphaIIbbeta3. DNA extraction was followed by PCR-SSCP analysis of all exons and...
