Abstract

Inherited platelet function disorders (IPFDs) are a disease group of heterogeneous bleeding disorders associated with congenital defects of platelet functions. Normal platelets essential role for primary hemostasis by adhesion, activation, secretion of granules, aggregation, and procoagulant activity of platelets. The accurate diagnosis of IPFDs is challenging due to unavailability of important testing methods, including light transmission aggregometry and flow cytometry, in several medical centers in Korea. Among several IPFDs, Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT) is a most representative IPFD and is relatively frequently found compare to the other types of rarer IPFDs. GT is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations of ITGA2B or ITGB3. There are quantitative or qualitative defects of the GPIIb/IIIa complex in platelet, which is the binding receptor for fibrinogen, von Willbrand factor, and fibronectin in GT patients. Therefore, patients with GT have normal platelet count and normal platelet morphology, but they have severely decreased platelet aggregation. Thus, GT patients have a very severe hemorrhagic phenotypes that begins at a very early age and persists throughout life. In this article, the general contents about platelet functions and respective IPFDs, the overall contents of GT, and the current status of genetic diagnosis of GT in Korea will be reviewed.
