Abstract excerpt
Bernard-Soulier syndrome (B-Ss) is a rare congenital bleeding disorder caused by abnormal giant platelets, thrombocytopenia, and defective glycoprotein (GP) Ib-V-IX, the adhesion receptor for von Willebrand factor (vWF). This report describes the molecular defect in two related individuals with w...
