Diagnostic workup of inherited platelet disorders

Abstract

Inherited platelet disorders (IPDs) can cause mucocutaneous bleeding due to impaired primary hemostatic function of platelets, thrombocytopenia, or both. Recent advances in molecular technology can help identify many genes related to platelet biology, control the overall steps of megakaryopoiesis, and cause IPD. In this article, currently available laboratory tools for diagnosing IPDs with the characteristic laboratory features of each IPD are reviewed, and a general diagnostic approach for the evaluation of IPD patients is presented.
