General information
Glanzmann’s Thrombasthenia (GT) is a bleeding disorder caused by defective platelets, which results in an inability for blood to clot properly. This variant of the disease, found in the Quarter Horse and Thoroughbred, is caused by a recessive mutation to the gene ITGA2B. A related variant is also found in the Quarter Horse, as well as the Peruvian Paso.
Clinical features
Clinical signs usually are characterised by bleeding of the skin, mucous membranes and gums, and may also include bruises, epistaxis (nosebleeds), and gastrointestinal hemorrhage.
