Abstract excerpt
A defective platelet glycoprotein (GP) Ib/IX/V complex [von Willebrand factor (VWF) receptor] results in Bernard-Soulier syndrome (BSS), which is characterized by macrothrombocytopenia and impaired ristocetin- and thrombin-induced platelet aggregation. We found 2 independent BSS-variant families: Case I [compound heterozygous mutations, p.Glu331X and a frame shift by a deletion at c.1444delA of GPIbα (GP1BA)...
