Abstract excerpt
We analysed the molecular basis of Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT) in four Japanese patients with type I or type II disease. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and subsequent direct sequencing of platelet RNA and genomic DNA revealed three single nucleotide substitutions of the alphaIIb gene, which were confirmed by allele-specific PCR or restriction analysis. One patient with type I GT had a T to C base substitution...
