Abstract excerpt
We describe a new variant of Bernard-Soulier syndrome characterized by almost normal amounts of GPIb and severely reduced GPIX and GPV. Despite surface expression, GPIbalpha failed to support ristocetin-induced platelet agglutination and to bind two conformation-dependent monoclonal antibodies, suggesting a qualitative defect. Sequence analysis of the gene coding for GPIX revealed a T-to-C substitution at base...
