A Sardinian founder mutation in <i>GP1BB</i> that impacts thrombocytopenia
2020-07-08
Abstract excerpt
To investigate the genetic regulation of platelet (PLT) levels we carried out a whole-genome association analysis in 6,528 Sardinians from the general population of the Lanusei valley. We found 6 variants significantly influencing PLT levels, including a novel rare missense mutation (p.Pro27Ser) in the GP1BB protein that is associated with PLT reduction (P=1.17×10 −16 ). This mutation is rare in the SardiNIA popul...
