Inherited Platelet Function Disorder From Novel Mutations in RAS Guanyl-Releasing Protein-2 Confirmed by Sanger Sequencing

Copyright © 2020, Al-Hebshi et al..

Inherited platelet disorders (IPDs) are genetically heterogeneous rare disorders due to quantitative and/or qualitative abnormalities of the platelet. IPDs are often predisposed to significant medical complications. RAS guanyl-releasing protein-2 (RASGRP2) was recently identified as a gene affected in patients with platelet function defects and a bleeding complication. RASGRP2 codes for the protein CalDAG-GEFI RAS (guanyl-releasing protein-2), a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for small guanosine triphosphate(GTP)ase Rap1. We used Sanger sequencing to identify a novel function-disrupting homozygous mutation in RASGRP2 responsible for bleeding diathesis and platelet dysfunction in a patient.
