Q

Manifestations:
- Partial oculocutaneous albinism
- Frequent pyogenic bacterial infections (severe immunology defects).
- Giant lysosomal granules
- Platelet dense granule deficiency (which leads to hemorrhage ).
- Lymphocytic proliferation in the liver, spleen and marrow.
- Macrophage accumulation in tissues.
- Severe pancytopenia
- Usually results to death in early age.

Inhibits platelet aggregation and secretion in
response to ADP, Epinephrine and collagen.
