Abstract excerpt
Bernard-Soulier syndrome (BSS) giant platelets have defective and/or deficient glycoprotein (GP) Ib/IX complexes, causing absent ristocetin-induced aggregation, defective interaction with von Willebrand factor, morphologic abnormality, and a clinical bleeding tendency. Recently several mutations have been described in the platelet GPIb alpha gene in individuals exhibiting the BSS phenotype. We have studied a...
