Glanzmann's thrombasthenia is a bleeding disorder characterized by a decrease or absence of the functional platelet membrane glycoprotein (GP) complex, GPIIb/IIIa (alpha IIb beta 3). We describe a new deletion-insertion mutation in the GPIIb gene causing type I Glanzmann's thrombasthenia in two siblings of a consanguineous Iranian-Jewish family. The proband's platelets bound more antibodies against the...
