Abstract excerpt
Homozygosity/compound heterozygosity for loss of function mutations in neurobeachin-like 2 (NBEAL2) is causative for Gray platelet syndrome (GPS; MIM #139090), characterized by thrombocytopenia and large platelets lacking α-granules and cargo. Most GPS-associated NBEAL2 mutations generate nonsense codons; frameshifts causing premature translation termination and/or changes in mRNA splicing have also been...
