==Overview==
Glanzmann's thrombasthenia is an autosomal recessive hematologic disorder. Megakaryocyte lineage is affected in this disease, and leads to dysfunctional platelet aggregation.The pathogenesis is related to a quantitative and/or qualitative defect in [[GpIIb/IIIa]] (αIIbβ3 integrin) construction. This receptor mediates platelet aggregation and thrombus formation when the blood vessel is damaged. The [[GpIIb/IIIa]] is an adhesion receptor and is expressed in platelets. This receptor is activated when the platelet is stimulated by [[Adenosine diphosphate|ADP]], [[epinephrine]], [[collagen]] and [[thrombin]]. The [[GpIIb/IIIa]] [[integrin]] is essential to the [[blood coagulation]] since it has the ability to bind [[fibrinogen]], the [[von Willebrand factor]], [[fibronectin]] and [[vitronectin]]. This enables the platelet to be activated by contact with the collagen-von Willebrand-complex that is exposed when the endothelial blood vessel lining is damaged and then aggregate with other [[thrombocytes]] via [[fibrinogen]]. Patients suffering from Glanzmann's thrombasthenia thus have platelets less able to adhere to each other and to the underlying tissue of damaged blood vessels. Integrin (ITG) αIIbβ3 has roll in platelet aggregation and adhesion, connection between cells, cell migration and thrombus formation.

Overview

Glanzmann's thrombasthenia is an autosomal recessive hematologic disorder. Megakaryocyte lineage is affected in this disease, and leads to dysfunctional platelet aggregation.The pathogenesis is related to a quantitative and/or qualitative defect in GpIIb/IIIa (αIIbβ3 integrin) construction. This receptor mediates platelet aggregation and thrombus formation when the blood vessel is damaged. The GpIIb/IIIa is an adhesion receptor and is expressed in platelets. This receptor is activated when the platelet is stimulated by ADP, epinephrine, collagen and thrombin. The GpIIb/IIIa integrin is essential to the blood coagulation since it has the ability to bind fibrinogen, the von Willebrand factor, fibronectin and vitronectin. This enables the platelet to be activated by contact with the collagen-von Willebrand-complex that is exposed when the endothelial blood vessel lining is damaged and then aggregate with other thrombocytes via fibrinogen. Patients suffering from Glanzmann's thrombasthenia thus have platelets less able to adhere to each other and to the underlying tissue of damaged blood vessels. Integrin (ITG) αIIbβ3 has roll in platelet aggregation and adhesion, connection between cells, cell migration and thrombus formation

Pathophysiology

  • Missense mutations have different presentations it can block formation of subunits and maturation of integrin. By Leu196Pro β3 mutation clot retraction can take place partially, but when mutations in β3 Ser162Leu and Leu262Pro occur αIIbβ3 although platelets bind to fibrin and retract clot, they are not able to adhere to fibrinogen after stimulation .
  • Mutations in  β-propeller domain of the αIIb subunit is observed in various types of GT, these mutations affect vastly αIIbβ3 expression and function other than interfering with calcium binding . Partial complex formation can be made despite some mutations in the αIIb subunit, even some individuals do not present GT symptoms contrary to mutations in αIIbβ3.[4]
  • Mutations could happen in subunit of αIIbβ3, or between αvβ3 and αIIbβ3. Hence αvβ3 tolerates mutations better than αIIbβ3. As an example there exist three kinds of mutations in αIIbβ3, in which αIIbβ3 complex is extremely activated and in the FAK of platelets tyrosine is phosphorylated when ITGA2B p.Phe993del, ITGB3 p.(Asp621_Glu660del) and ITGA2B p.Gly991Cysthat are mutated, though The mentioned mutations affect surface αIIbβ3 expression and change platelet morphology and count, but doesn’t manifest GT.
