Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Inherited platelet function disorders (PFDs) are heterogeneous, and identification of the underlying genetic defects is difficult when based solely on phenotypic and clinical features of the patient. OBJECTIVE: To analyze 329 genes regulating platelet function, number, and size in order to identify candidate gene defects in patients with PFDs. PATIENTS/METHODS: Targeted analysis of candidate PFD genes...
