Background: Glanzmann's thrombasthenia (GT) is a hereditary bleeding disorder characterized by a defect in the expression or the function of alpha(IIb)beta(3). Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to identify genetic defects in a GT patient. Methods: The exp ression of alpha(IIb)beta(3) was determined by flow cytometric analysis and Western blotting. We analyzed the cDNA sequences of both alpha(IIb) and beta(3), and performed transfection experiments using COS7 cells to confirm that a specific mutation was responsible for the GT case. Results: Flow cytometric analysis and Western blotting showed remarkably reduced expression of alpha(IIb)beta(3). Sequence analysis of the patient's cDNA indicated a new missense mutation that led to the amino acid substitution of Ile304 (A (T) under barC) with Asn (A (A) under barC) in exon 6 of the beta(3) gene. This was in addition to the missense mutation of His280 (C (A) under barT) to Pro (C (C) under barT) in exon 5, which had been previously reported. The missense mutation of Ile3O4 (A (T) under barC) to Asn (A (A) under barC) in beta(3) was found to be responsible for this GT case. This was because transfection experiments using COS7 cells indicated that alpha(IIb)beta(3) possessing Asn304 in beta(3) was not expressed on the surface of the transfected cells. In addition, immunoprecipitation analysis demonstrated that alpha(IIb)beta(3) was absent inside the transfected COS7 cells possessing Asn304 in beta(3). Conclusion: In this study, we describe a new missense mutation (A (T) under barC to A (A) under barC) at position 1009 in exon 6 that leads to an amino acid substitution (Ile304 to Asn) in beta(3), which is responsible for this GT case.
