摘要: Bernard-Soulier syndrome (BSS) is an autosomal recessive bleeding disorder due to quantitative or qualitative abnormalities in the glycoprotein (GP) Ib/IX/V complex, platelet receptor for von Willebrand factor. We describe here genetic basis of a patient with BSS. Flow cytometric analysis patient's platelets showed greatly reduced GPIbα and completely absent GPIX surface expression. Immunoblot disclosed residual amounts GPIbβ platelets. DNA sequencing revealed be homozygous novel missense mutation gene that converts Cys (TGT) Tyr (TAT) at residue 97. Transient transfection studies confirmed mutant was not expressed on transfected cells, showing responsible BSS phenotype observed patient.
