Molecular abnormalities in Glanzmann's thrombasthenia, Bernard-Soulier syndrome, and platelet-type von Willebrand's disease.
Current Opinion in Hematology 1994 September
Genetic defects of the blood platelet membrane glycoproteins, GPIIb-IIIa (alpha IIb/beta 3; CD41/CD61) and GPIb-V-IX (CD42) are the origin of several rare bleeding disorders, the best known of which are Glanzmann's thrombasthenia, Bernard-Soulier syndrome, and platelet-type von Willebrand's disease. In Glanzmann's thrombasthenia, GPIIb-IIIa are missing or defective and platelet aggregation is lacking or reduced. Either gene can be affected and mutations leading to lack of expression or to expression of poorly functional forms have been described. In Bernard-Soulier syndrome, GPIb-V-IX are missing or defective, leading to poor platelet adhesion at high-shear stress to damaged vessel wall and reduced platelet response to thrombin. Mutations in both GPIb alpha (CD42b) and GPIX (CD42a) have been described. Mutations in GPIb alpha can also lead to platelet-type von Willebrand's disease in which GPIb-V-IX are expressed normally but bind von Willebrand's factor spontaneously, which leads to platelet aggregation and thrombocytopenia.
