A patient with Glanzmann’s thrombasthenia has been analysed by high resolution two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and crossed immunoelectrophoresis. Although clot retraction is subnormal, glycoproteins lib and Ilia are completely absent and platelet fibrinogen is strongly reduced indicating an unusual subtype of type II thrombasthenia. No changes in the pi of glycoproteins have been observed. Heterogeneity in Glanzmann’s thrombasthenia is discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
