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 were present on the platelets, but in decreased amounts. Therefore, GP Ib alpha gene from both cases was sequenced after...
