Abstract excerpt
Glanzmann's thrombasthenia is a rare inherited bleeding disorder caused by a qualitative or quantitative defect of platelet alpha IIb beta 3. We describe here a new mutation that is the molecular genetic basis of Glanzmann's thrombasthenia in two gypsy families. Our investigation was focused on the alpha IIb gene as a result of biochemical and immunologic analysis of patients' platelets showing undetectable alpha...
