Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT) is the most widely studied inherited disorder of platelets; it is caused by the absence of platelet aggregation due to quantitative and/or qualitative deficiencies of the αIIbβ3 integrin coded by the ITGA2B and ITGB3 genes located at 17q21-23. Although platelet count and platelet volume (and morphology) are normal in classic GT, some reports have inferred a role for αIIbβ3 in...
