Clinical summary

Help

Imported from OMIM

Platelet-type bleeding disorder-15 is an autosomal dominant form of macrothrombocytopenia. Affected individuals usually have no or only mild bleeding tendency, such as epistaxis. Laboratory studies show decreased numbers of large platelets and anisocytosis, but the platelets show no in vitro functional abnormalities (summary by Kunishima et al., 2013).

Conditions tested

Target population

Help

The Invitae Inherited Platelet Disorders Including Thrombocytopenia Panel analyzes genes associated with disorders of platelet number or function. These disorders are typically characterized by bleeding symptoms which may include excessive bruising, purpura, excessive bleeding after surgery or trauma, nosebleeds, superficial bleeding into the skin (petechiae), and menorrhagia in women. Note: The GP1BB gene is not offered on this panel. In addition, sequencing for the GP1BA gene is limited to 11 variants.
