Abstract excerpt
We present a patient with Bernard-Soulier syndrome harboring a novel mutation. Flow cytometric analysis showed that the glycoprotein (GP) Ib/IX complex was absent from the platelet surface. By immunoblotting, GPIbalpha, GPIbbeta and GPIX were not detected in the platelet lysates. Glycocalicin, the soluble GPIbalpha fragment, was also absent in the plasma. Genetic analysis revealed a novel homozygous 8-base pair...
