Abstract excerpt
To clarify a molecular defect responsible for moderate alphaIIb beta3 deficiency, we examined two unrelated patients, MT and MS, suffering from type II and type I Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT), respectively. Sequence analysis of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) fragments derived from platelet mRNA showed a single A-->C substitution at nucleotide (nt) 2334 leading to a Gln747--> Pro in alphaIIb in both patients....
