Abstract excerpt
Platelet defects due to hyper-responsive GPIbα causing enhanced VWF interaction, counter-intuitively result in bleeding rather than thrombosis. The historical explanation of platelet/VWF clearance fails to explain mechanisms of impaired haemostasis particularly in light of reported poor platelet binding to fibrinogen. This study aimed to evaluate the defects of platelets with hyper-responsive GPIbα and their...
