A novel mutation in GP1BA gene leads to mono-allelic Bernard Soulier syndrome form of macrothrombocytopenia.

Inherited macrothrombocytopenia is one of the subgroup of inherited thrombocytopenias with variable bleeding tendencies presenting with low platelet count and giant platelets and different gene mutations are involved in its molecular pathophysiology and affect various cell functions. Herein, we describe a family with an isolated giant platelet disorder with variable bleeding diathesis with autosomal mode of inheritance.
