Glanzmann's thrombasthenia (GT), a rare bleeding disorder, was diagnosed in two siblings using flow cytometry. Diagnosis confirmed absence of the GPIIb/IIIa receptor, explaining their bleeding symptoms.

Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Pediatrics
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Glanzmann's thrombasthenia (GT) is a rare inherited bleeding disorder.
  • It is characterized by impaired platelet aggregation due to defects in the GPIIb/IIIa receptor.

Observation:

  • Two siblings presented with a history of cutaneous bleeding and epistaxis since early childhood.
  • Hematological investigations showed prolonged bleeding time and normal platelet counts.

Findings:

  • Flow cytometry confirmed the absence of the GPIIb/IIIa receptor on platelets.
  • Platelet aggregation studies showed no response to adenosine diphosphate.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the utility of flow cytometry in diagnosing Glanzmann's thrombasthenia in children.
