==Overview==
{{SK}} Glanzmann thrombasthenia; Glanzmann's disease
'''Glanzmann's thrombasthenia''' is an extremely rare [[Blood diseases|disorder]] of the [[blood]], in which the [[platelet]]s lack [[glycoprotein IIb/IIIa]]. Hence, no [[fibrinogen]] bridging can occur, and bleeding time is significantly prolonged.


==Pathophysiology==
==[[Glanzmann's thrombasthenia patient information|Patient Information]]==
The [[GpIIb/IIIa]] is an adhesion receptor and is expressed in [[thrombocytes]]. This receptor is activated when the thrombocyte 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.
==[[Glanzmann's thrombasthenia overview|Overview]]==


The understanding of its pathophysiology led to the development of [[GpIIb/IIIa inhibitors]], a class of powerful [[antiplatelet agent]]s.<ref name=seligsohn>Seligsohn U. Glanzmann thrombasthenia: a model disease which paved the way to powerful therapeutic agents. Pathophysiol Haemost Thromb. 2002 Sep-Dec;32(5-6):216-7. PMID 13679645.

==[[Glanzmann's thrombasthenia historical perspective|Historical Perspective]]==


==Etiology==
==[[Glanzmann's thrombasthenia classification|Classification]]==
Glanzmann's thrombasthenia can be inherited in an [[autosomal]] [[recessive]] manner<ref name=seligsohn/> or acquired as an [[autoimmune disorder]].<ref>Tholouli E, Hay CR, O'Gorman P, Makris M. Acquired Glanzmann's thrombasthenia without thrombocytopenia: a severe acquired autoimmune bleeding disorder. Br J Haematol. 2004 Oct;127(2):209-13. PMID 15461628.</ref>


==Clinical Features==
==[[Glanzmann's thrombasthenia pathophysiology|Pathophysiology]]==
Characteristically, there is increased mucosal bleeding:
*[[epistaxis]]
*[[menorrhagia]]
*increased bleeding post-operatively.
The bleeding tendency is variable but may be severe.


Patients present with moderate [[bleeding]] and normal [[platelet]] morphology. [[Aggregation]] of [[platelet]]s occurs in response to [[ristocetin]], but not to other [[agonist]]s such as [[Adenosine diphosphate|ADP]], [[thrombin]], [[collagen]] or [[adrenalin]].

==Eponym==
==[[Glanzmann's thrombasthenia differential diagnosis|Differentiating Glanzmann's thrombasthenia from Other Diseases]]==
It is named for Eduard Glanzmann.<ref>{{WhoNamedIt|synd|1289}}</ref><ref>W. E. Glanzmann. Hereditäre hämorrhägische Thrombasthenie. Ein Beitrag zur Pathologie der Blutplättchen. Jahrbuch für Kinderheilkunde, 1918; 88: 1-42, 113-141.</ref>
