Abstract excerpt
We investigated two unrelated patients with Bernard-Soulier syndrome (BSS) by performing molecular and genetic analysis. A flow cytometric and immunoblotting analysis showed GP Ib alpha to be absent from the platelet membrane of both patients. Other glycoproteins that formed GP Ib/IX/V complex we...
