The objective of this study was to elucidate the molecular characteristics of a Chinese family with Glanzmann's thrombasthenia (GT). The proband was diagnosed with GT based on clinical manifestations, platelet aggregation, and the expression of CD41 and CD61 in platelets. Whole-exome and Sanger sequencing were used to detect genetic defects related to GT in the proband and the family of the pedigree. Whole-exome sequencing showed a c.1784-1802delinsGTCACA, p. S595Cfs*70 homozygous mutation in exon 11 of the ITGB3 gene in the proband. Heterozygous mutations were found in the proband's parents, grandmother, uncle, aunt, and younger brother. This novel p. S595Cfs*70 ITGB3 gene mutation is not present in the 1000 Genomes and ExAC databases.

Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT) is an autosomal recessive platelet functional bleeding disorder caused by mutations in the ITGA2B or ITGB3 genes, often presenting as mucocutaneous bleeding. GT typically presents in infancy, but this study reports a rare case of neonatal presentation in a female infant born to consanguineous parents. The mother, a 27-year-old woman with a family history of GT, presented at 36 weeks gestation for an elective cesarean due to a breech presentation.

Article Synopsis
- Hemorrhagic cholecystitis is a rare but serious condition that can occur if the gallbladder bursts, necessitating urgent medical intervention.
- A 27-year-old man with Glanzmann's thrombasthenia visited the emergency department multiple times, initially presenting with ear and later chest pain, before being misdiagnosed and sent home.
- Upon returning with abdominal symptoms, an ultrasound confirmed cholecystitis, leading to an emergency surgery that uncovered the hemorrhagic cholecystitis diagnosis.
Background: Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT) is a rare disease with an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. This disorder is not so uncommonly encountered in routine clinical practice and laboratory settings in Pakistan let alone in the rest of the world. To describe the bleeding phenotype of GT and treatment outcomes in over one hundred patients in north Pakistan.

Background: Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT) is a very rare autosomal inherited bleeding disease affecting megakaryocyte lineage with impacts on oral health such as gingival bleeding, which requires specific management protocols. Very few clinical cases have been published in the dental and hematologic literature.
Objectives: This study focuses on a series of 21 patients affected specifically by GT and their hemorrhagic prophylaxis management with the use of recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa) for dental extractions and full-mouth debridement.

Article Synopsis
- * A rare complication of GT is gastrointestinal angiodysplasia (GIAD), which involves abnormal blood vessel formation in the digestive system and has been documented in eight cases.
- * Treatment options for GIAD include surgical methods, electrocoagulation, and medications, but it has a high chance of recurring, as demonstrated in reported cases of patients with both GT and gastrointestinal bleeding.
