Gray platelet syndrome: immunity goes awry

Blood. 2020 Oct 22;136(17):1898-1900. doi: 10.1182/blood.2020008196.

Abstract

In this issue of Blood, Sims et al describe clinical, genotypic, and phenotypic findings in 47 patients with the gray platelet syndrome (GPS), a rare recessive platelet disorder with α-granule abnormalities and mutations in NBEAL2. They expand the repertoire of granule defects in GPS to leukocytes and document an important association of GPS with immune dysregulation and autoimmune diseases.
