Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: To date, several mutations that induce constitutive activation of integrin αIIbβ3 have been identified in congenital macrothrombocytopenia. Of these, αIIb(R995W) is the most prevalent mutation observed in Japanese patients with αIIbβ3-related congenital macrothrombocytopenia. OBJECTIVE AND METHODS: The present study aimed to explore the effects of constitutive activation of the αIIb(R995W) mutation on...
