Inherited platelet disorders.

چکیده

The inherited platelet disorders are a heterogeneous collection of rare diseases that are infrequently encountered in clinical practice. They are, however, fascinating abnormalities, which have taught us a great deal about normal platelet biochemistry and physiology. In this section of the presentation we will review disorders of the platelet membrane, platelet granule packaging disorders, the hereditary macrothrombocytopenias, platelet signaling disorders and disorders of platelet coagulant function. The molecular basis of the disorders, the cardinal features of their clinical presentation and best methods to make their diagnosis and the latest information regarding therapy will be presented.

Bleeding risk of surgery and its prevention in patients with inherited platelet disorders

Excessive bleeding at surgery is a feared complication in patients with inherited platelet disorders. However, very few studies have evaluated the frequency of surgical bleeding in these hemorrhagic disorders. We performed a worldwide, multicentric, retrospective study to assess the bleeding complications of surgery, the preventive and therapeutic approaches adopted, and their efficacy in patie...

Utility of the ISTH bleeding assessment tool in predicting platelet defects in participants with suspected inherited platelet function disorders

BACKGROUND The ISTH bleeding assessment tool (ISTH-BAT) was developed to record bleeding symptoms and to aid diagnosis in patients with a possible bleeding disorder. OBJECTIVES To investigate the utility of the ISTH-BAT in predicting functional defects in platelet activation in participants with suspected inherited platelet function disorders. PATIENTS/METHODS Participants with clinical evi...

Genetics of inherited platelet disorders.

The current review describes inherited platelet disorders, illustrates their clinical phenotype and molecular genetic defects. Platelets are the key molecules mediating haemostasis via adhesion, activation and clot formation at the site of injury. The inherited platelet disorders can be classified according to their platelet defects: receptor/cytoskeleton defects, secretion disorder, and signal...

Hematopoietic transcription factor mutations and inherited platelet dysfunction

The molecular and genetic mechanisms in most patients with inherited platelet dysfunction are unknown. There is increasing evidence that mutations in hematopoietic transcription factors are major players in the pathogenesis of defective megakaryopoiesis and platelet dysfunction in patients with inherited platelet disorders. These hematopoietic transcription factors include RUNX1, FLI1, GATA-1, ...

Genetic loci associated with platelet traits and platelet disorders.

Genetic investigations have led to important advances in our knowledge of genes, proteins, and microRNA that influence circulating platelet counts, platelet size, and function. The application of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to platelet traits has identified multiple loci with a significant association to platelet number, size, and function in aggregation and granule secretion assays....
