Platelet findings in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome correlate with disease manifestations but do not correlate with GPIb surface expression
8 Sept 2022
Abstract excerpt
Prior studies have demonstrated that patients with chromosome 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS) have lower platelet counts (PC) compared to non-deleted populations. They also have an increased mean platelet volume. The mechanism for this has been postulated to be haploinsufficiency of the GPIBB gene. We examined platelet parameters, deletion size and factors known to influence counts, including status of...
