a. Mediterranean macrothrombocytopenia
b. Montreal
c. May-Hegglin
a. Mediterranean macrothrombocytopenia
- autosomal dom
- Absent or abnormal vWF which is needed for platelets to adhere to collagen in damaged vessels
von Willebrand’s Disease
Most common hereditary hemorrhagic disorder
a. vWF disease
b. Montreal
c. May-Hegglin
a. vWF disease
Reduced/lack concentrations
and defective release reaction
of storage granules
a. vWF disease
b. Storage pool disorders
c. May-Hegglin

Mutations in genes that encode
proteins involved in intracellular vesicle
trafficking and biogenesis of organelles.
Hermansky-Pudlack Syndrome
Characteristics:
1. Oculocutaneous albinism
2. Defective lysosomal function
3. Ceroid-like pigment in macrophages
4. Dense granule deficiency - bleeding
Hermansky-Pudlack Syndrome
Mutations resulting to generalized dysfunction involving fusion of cytoplasmic granules
Chediak-Higashi
Syndrome
Partial oculocutaneous albinism
2. Frequent pyogenic bacterial infection
3. Hemorrhage
4. Giant lysosomes in all granule-containing cell
5. Dense granule deficiency – bleeding
Chediak-Higashi
Syndrome
Dense granules deficiency
* X-linked
* Mutation in WASp
* WASp plays a crucial role in actin
cytoskeleton remodeling
Wiskott-Aldrich
Syndrome
- Microthrombocytopenia (small platelets, low MPV)
- Recurrent infections
- Eczema
Wiskott-Aldrich
Syndrome
