Molecular dynamics analysis of a novel β3 Pro189Ser mutation in a patient with glanzmann thrombasthenia differentially affecting αIIbβ3 and αvβ3 expression.

Mutations in ITGA2B and ITGB3 cause Glanzmann thrombasthenia, an inherited bleeding disorder in which platelets fail to aggregate when stimulated. Whereas an absence of expression or qualitative defects of αIIbβ3 mainly affect platelets and megakaryocytes, αvβ3 has a widespread tissue distribution....
