The glycoprotein VI (GPVI)/FcR gamma complex is a key receptor for platelet activation by collagen. We describe, for the first time, 2 genetic abnormalities in one patient. This 10-year-old girl presented ecchymoses since infancy, a prolonged bleeding time despite a normal platelet count and no antiplatelet antibodies. Collagen-induced platelet activation was null, whereas GPVI quantification by flow cytometry evidenced an incomplete deficiency. Immunoblotting showed an abnormal migration of residual GPVI, and no FcR gamma defect. GPVI DNA sequencing revealed (1) an R38C mutation in exon 3 of one allele and (2) an insertion of 5 nucleotides in exon 4 of the other allele, leading to a premature nonsense codon and absence of the corresponding mRNA. Introduction of the R38C mutation into recombinant GPVI-Fc resulted in abnormal protein migration and a loss of collagen binding. Thus, this composite genetic GPVI deficiency and dysfunction cause absence of platelet responses to collagen and a mild bleeding phenotype. (Blood. 2009; 114: 1900-1903)
