Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in platelet-associated genes partly explain inherent variability in platelet counts. Patients with monoallelic Bernard Soulier syndrome due to the Bolzano mutation (GPIBA A156V) have variable platelet counts despite a common mutation for unknown reasons. OBJECTIVES: We investigated the effect of the most common SNP (R307H) in the hematopoietic-specific tubulin...
