Hereditary spherocytosis type 5

EPB42-related hereditary spherocytosis (EPB42-HS) is a chronic nonimmune hemolytic anemia that is usually of mild-to-moderate severity. EPB42-HS can present with jaundice as early as the first 24 hours of life or can present later in childhood with anemia resulting from a hemolytic crisis or aplastic crisis (usually associated with a viral infection). In addition to the hematologic manifestations, serious complications include splenomegaly, which can become evident in early childhood, and cholelithiasis, which usually becomes evident in the second or third decade of life. Typical laboratory findings in EPB42-HS include anemia (decreased hemoglobin [Hgb] level) and reticulocytosis (increased percentage of reticulocytes), with high mean corpuscular Hgb concentration, presence of spherocytes in the peripheral blood smear, significantly decreased or absent haptoglobin, mildly increased osmotic fragility in osmotic fragility assay, increased Omin (osmolality at which 50% of red blood cells hemolyze), and decreased maximal elongation index (EImax) in osmotic gradient ektacytometry. [from GeneReviews]

Bleeding disorder, platelet-type, 13, susceptibility to

Susceptibility to platelet-type bleeding disorder-13 (BDPLT13) is due to a defective thromboxane A2 receptor on platelets. The susceptibility is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, but clinical features, including mild mucocutaneous bleeding, occur only in the presence of a 'second hit' affecting platelet function; this second hit may be either in the TBXA2R gene or in another gene affecting the coagulation cascade (summary by Mumford et al., 2010). [from OMIM]

Glanzmann thrombasthenia

Glanzmann thrombasthenia is a bleeding disorder that is characterized by prolonged or spontaneous bleeding starting from birth. People with Glanzmann thrombasthenia tend to bruise easily, have frequent nosebleeds (epistaxis), and may bleed from the gums. They may also develop red or purple spots on the skin caused by bleeding underneath the skin (petechiae) or swelling caused by bleeding within tissues (hematoma). Glanzmann thrombasthenia can also cause prolonged bleeding following injury, trauma, or surgery (including dental work). Women with this condition can have prolonged and sometimes abnormally heavy menstrual bleeding. Affected women also have an increased risk of excessive blood loss during pregnancy and childbirth.

About a quarter of individuals with Glanzmann thrombasthenia have bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract, which often occurs later in life. Rarely, affected individuals have bleeding inside the skull (intracranial hemorrhage) or joints (hemarthrosis).

The severity and frequency of the bleeding episodes in Glanzmann thrombasthenia can vary greatly among affected individuals, even in the same family. Spontaneous bleeding tends to become less frequent with age. [from MedlinePlus Genetics]

Platelet-type bleeding disorder 11

Platelet-type bleeding disorder-11 is an autosomal recessive mild to moderate bleeding disorder caused by defective platelet activation and aggregation in response to collagen (summary by Dumont et al., 2009). [from OMIM]

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, classic-like, 3

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome classic-like-3 (EDSCLL3) is an autosomal dominant connective tissue disorder characterized by joint hypermobility and frequent joint dislocations, atrophic scarring, prolonged bleeding time, and age-related aortic dilatation and rupture (Hadar et al., 2024). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of classic-like Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, see 606408. For a discussion of the classificiation of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, see EDSCL1 (130000). [from OMIM]

Abnormal platelet count

Abnormal number of platelets per volume of blood. In a healthy adult, a normal platelet count is between 150,000 and 450,000 per microliter of blood. [from HPO]
