Abstract excerpt
Bernard-Soulier Syndrome (BSS) is a rare congenital bleeding disorder due to absent or decreased expression of the glycoprotein Ib-IX-V (GpIb-IX-V) receptor complex on the platelet surface. To date, only mutations in GpIbalpha or GpIX have been reported in patients with BSS. GpIbbeta differs from the other proteins in this receptor in that the gene is more complex, and an alternative form is expressed in cells of...
