Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT) is a rare autosomal recessive bleeding syndrome affecting the megakaryocyte lineage and characterized by lack of platelet aggregation. This disease is caused by mutation in the integrin family receptor genes encoding platelet glycoprotein alpha-IIb or platelet glycoprotein IIIa.
