Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT) is an inherited, intrinsic platelet defect characterized by a quantitative or qualitative change in the platelet glycoprotein complex IIb-IIIa (integrin alpha(IIb)beta3). The subunits are encoded by separate genes and both subunits must be expressed for a stable complex to form on the platelet surface; therefore, a defect in either gene can result in GT.
Glanzmann血小板无力症(GT)是一种遗传性的血小板内在缺陷,其特征是血小板糖蛋白复合物IIb-IIIa(整合素α(IIb)β3)发生数量或质量变化。这些亚基由不同的基因编码,两个亚基都必须表达才能在血小板表面形成稳定的复合物;因此,任一基因的缺陷都可能导致GT。
