Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: We examined platelet functions in 4 unrelated patients with filaminopathy A caused by dominant mutations of the X-linked filamin A (FLNA) gene. METHODS AND RESULTS: Patients P1, P2, and P4 exhibited periventricular nodular heterotopia, heterozygozity for truncating FLNA mutations, and thrombocytopenia (except P2). P3 exhibited isolated thrombocytopenia and heterozygozity for a p.Glu1803Lys FLNA...
