Glanzmann thrombasthenia-1 (GT1) is an autosomal recessive bleeding disorder characterized by failure of platelet aggregation and by absent or diminished clot retraction. The abnormalities are related to quantitative or qualitative abnormalities of the GPIIb/IIIa (ITGB3; 173470) platelet surface fibrinogen receptor complex resulting from mutations in the GPIIb gene (Rosenberg et al., 1997).
Genetic Heterogeneity of Glanzmann Thrombasthenia
See Glanzmann thrombasthenia-2 (GT2; 619267), caused by mutation the ITGB3 gene (173470) on chromosome 17q21.32.
