Flow cytometric analysis of platelets from childrenwith the Wiskott‐Aldrich syndrome reveals defects in platelet development, activation and structure
1 Jun 1997
Abstract excerpt
The pathophysiology of platelet dysfunction in the Wiskott-Aldrich immune deficiency syndrome (WAS) remains unclear. Using flow cytometry, we have characterized the functional properties of platelets from 10 children with WAS. Patients with WAS had thrombocytopenia, small platelets, increased platelet-associated IgG and reduced platelet-dense granule content. Levels of reticulated 'young' platelets were normal in...
