Glanzmann's thrombasthenia (GT) is a hereditary bleeding disorder caused by a quantitative or qualitative defect in the integrin alpha(IIb) beta(3). A new mutation, a T to C substitution at base 258 in the alpha(IIb) gene, leading to the replacement of Leu(55) with Pro, was found by sequence analysis of a patient's alpha(IIb) cDNA. In transfection experiments using COS7 cells, the cells co-transfected with the mutated alpha(IIb) cDNA containing C-258 and wild-type beta(3) cDNA scarcely expressed the alpha(IIb) beta(3) complex. The Leu(55) to Pro substitution in the alpha(IIb) gene was found to be responsible for this case of Glanzmann's thrombasthenia.
