A novel frameshift GP1BB mutation causes autosomal dominant macrothrombocytopenia with decreased vWF receptor expression but normal platelet aggregation
4 Apr 2021
Abstract excerpt
GP1bβ is a component of the von Willebrand factor (vWF) receptor complex that is necessary for platelet formation and activation. A novel frameshift variant in GP1BB has been identified in a family with macrothrombocytopenia. The variant leads to a protein that is 101 amino acids longer than wild type with loss of the transmembrane domain. As there is no defect in platelet aggregation, the family are classified...
